We are developing the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) Strategic Plan 2025-2030 to guide the focus of Western NSW Local Health District for the next five years.

The plan gives us a clear direction and set of common goals that reflect who we are as a Local Health District (LHD).

Our plan is built around our core mission and around the core functions of an LHD which is to care for those who are sick or injured and to promote and maintain the overall health of our community.

What does a Strategic Plan do?

A strategic plan serves as a roadmap for our work. It guides our decision-making, helps us set clear priorities, and provides a framework for tracking our progress.

Although it is a high-level plan, it sets out clear priorities for the Local Health District so we can work together effectively.

How is the Strategic Plan developed?

We review the service demand now and into the future, population health data, health needs and the services provided by Western NSW Local Health District.

Staff play a vital role in shaping the Strategic plan as their frontline knowledge ensures our direction is practical, informed and people focused. We engaged with staff through workshops, forums and focus groups. Staff will also be able to review the draft plan and provide feedback.

Consultations are also held with service partners and communities to ensure the priorities of the plan reflects what matters most as we look ahead into the next five years.

How you can have your say

We will be meeting with community groups throughout July to hear what is important to communities in Western NSW. You can contact the Planning Team, via the email here, to join a session or share your ideas.

In September, you will be able to review the draft plan on this page and provide your feedback.

How we will use your views

We will review all feedback and group it into key themes to identify what matters most to staff, partners and communities. Your input will help shape the priorities and goals in the Strategic Plan, ensuring it reflects the needs and aspirations of the people we serve.
