Rural and Regional NSW Local Health Districts

On 22 November 2010, NSW Health announced the next step in the transition to Local Health Districts with the establishment of three geographically based Clinical Support Division and the appointment of their Chief Operating Officers.

Each Clinical Support Division will be linked to and support the Local Health Districts in a defined geographic area.

As a result of these changes, the former Greater Western Area Health Service, has been split into two Local Health Districts (LHD). The Far West LHD is comprised of the western section of the Greater Western AHS and the Western NSW LHD is comprised of the eastern section, as displayed on the map below.

Each new LHD has their own website which may be access by clicking on the map below.
