Further allocations under the NSW budget for 2024-25 include substantial funding for continued redevelopment at several hospitals. These include redevelopments at Eurobodalla, Temora, Liverpool, the Integrated Mental Health Complex at Westmead, Moree, Nepean, Cessnock, and Shellharbour Hospitals.

A significant portion of the budget, A$265m, will also be dedicated to upgrading Port Macquarie Hospital.

This investment will enable the hospital to offer a wider array of clinical services, such as improved emergency and maternity services, to the Mid-North Coast population.

Moreover, the government announced A$250m funding in a maintenance programme for health facilities across the state.

New South Wales health minister Ryan Park said: “By investing in critical health infrastructure, we will deliver on our promise to provide better healthcare in NSW by expanding health services in these growing communities so patients can access the best medical treatments close to home.

“These infrastructure projects and the range of health services that will be provided from them by our committed and caring health staff will also help attract more healthcare workers to work in these modern and purpose-built healthcare facilities across NSW.”

Prior to this development, the NSW Government announced an emergency department relief package worth A$480.7m ($316.2m) to reduce the annual number of visits to hospitals in the state.
