Regional Health Strategic Plan. The Regional Health Strategic Plan 2022-2032 (the Plan) outlines NSW Health’s strategies to ensure people living in regional, rural and remote NSW can access high quality, timely healthcare with excellent patient experiences and optimal health outcomes. The Plan aims to improve health outcomes for regional, rural and remote NSW residents over the decade from 2022 to 2032. Regional NSW encompasses all regional, rural and remote areas of NSW. There are nine regional local health districts in NSW: Central Coast, Far West, Hunter New England, Illawarra Shoalhaven, Mid North Coast, Murrumbidgee, Northern NSW, Southern NSW and Western NSW. Some areas of other local health districts may also be considered regional for the purpose of the plan such as South Western Sydney and Nepean Blue Mountains. The Regional Health Strategic Plan is also supported by the metropolitan local health districts and by the Specialty Health Networks which have patients in many regional locations.
