The NSW Rural Health Plan: Towards 2021 strengthened the capacity of rural health services to provide world class connected and seamless care for people living in regional, rural and remote NSW.
Building on significant achievements made in rural health services, the plan set directions and strategies to improve rural health services and aligned with the NSW State Health Plan: Towards 2021.
The NSW Rural Health Plan Towards 2021: Final Progress Review was completed in April 2022. The review summarises progress across NSW Health in implementing the plan, reflecting on key achievements and future directions for rural health policy.
NSW Health has developed the NSW Regional Health Strategic Plan 2022-2032 for the next decade which takes into account the future directions outlined in the Final Progress Review, research, the findings and recommendations of the Rural Health Inquiry and extensive consultation with regional communities, health staff and stakeholders.
