The NSW Government is working with the Commonwealth Government, states and territories, to implement the biggest reform of Australia's public health system since the introduction of Medicare.

The NSW Government has secured significant, additional funding from the Commonwealth. This extra money, combined with the largest state Health budget in NSW's history, represents a major investment in the people, resources and infrastructure that make up the NSW public health system.

This historic agreement on health reform also presents an opportunity for frontline clinicians, administrators, and representatives from community health and volunteer organisations to have direct input into the shape of our public health system.

This website will be regularly updated and, as the schedule of meetings progresses will feature video content from some of the meetings.
