As part of Stage 2 of the redevelopment, which is jointly funded by the Commonwealth and State governments, demolition works have started.
Northern NSW Parliamentary Secretary Ben Franklin said: “Modern facilities are key to ensuring our clinicians and hospital staff can continue to provide the high-quality health care that our local communities deserve.
“Stage 2 of this significant redevelopment will pave the way for upgrades to surgical services at Ballina District Hospital, with a new operating theatre and a new recovery area.”
The latest upgrades form part of the NSW’s proposal to offer first-class health services to Northern NSW.
