Coffs Harbour Health Campus and a Grafton mental health facility are in line for upgrades worth more than $1.7 million, as part of a new $12 million regional health works program.
Mid North Coast Local Health District will receive $1 million to support office and collaboration space for care coordination and multidisciplinary teams at Coffs Harbour Health Campus.
Up the road, Northern NSW Local Health District will get more than $700,000 to refurbish the Aruma Community Mental Health facility in Grafton.
“We are investing in the essential health infrastructure rural and regional communities need and deserve,” said Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park.
The two North Coast projects are among 17 across eight local health districts to be funded through the Regional Health Minor Works Program, which will be delivered over two years.
The biggest share, nearly $3.4 million, goes to Murrumbidgee Local Health District, including a new satellite renal dialysis unit at Leeton District Hospital.
Other funded projects include an expanded Broken Hill Community Health Centre and two upgraded birthing suites at Broken Hill Health Service, a bigger emergency department ambulance triage zone at Gosford Hospital, and rooftop solar at five Multi-Purpose Services in western NSW.
“The Regional Health Minor Works Program will provide essential upgrades to infrastructure, improve staff and patient amenities, and help deliver better health services for communities across NSW,” Minister Park said.
The funding builds on the NSW Government’s $11.9 billion investment to deliver 32 new or upgraded hospitals in the 2026-27 Budget. That includes nearly $3 billion over four years for hospitals across regional NSW.
“This is just one of the ways the Minns Labor Government is rebuilding health care in rural and regional NSW, ensuring people continue to have access to the best possible care close to home.”
