Better Hospitals and More Health Workers

Better Hospitals and More Health Workers Main Image

Working with Premier Chris Minns, we're delivering better hospitals and more health workers to improve health services across our community.

BETTER HOSPITALS ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY

We're delivering a $930 million investment to upgrade Liverpool Hospital into the new Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct, and upgrading Fairfield Hospital.

I'm working with the Federal Government to make healthcare more affordable with a free bulk-billed Medicare Urgent Care Clinic in Liverpool.

MORE HEALTH WORKERS ACROSS SOUTH WEST SYDNEY

Bricks and mortar are just the first step. We're making sure we have the health workers needed to run our hospitals. That starts by improving pay and conditions - with the largest pay rise for health workers in over a decade.

In just three years, we've recruited an additional 708 nurses, 242 doctors and 170 allied health professionals locally.

This comes after the former Government planned to sack 1,100 nurses, despite the growing need for frontline health workers across NSW.

There is more to do, and I'll keep working to deliver world class health services across our community.
