Communities across rural and regional NSW continue to benefit from improved access to Key Health Worker Accommodation, with more than 70 dwellings delivered so far as part of the Minns Labor Government’s $200.1 million program.

In the Southern NSW Local Local Health District two duplexes in Bega, two duplexes Crookwell, and five homes in Moruya have been acquired.

The Key Health Worker Accommodation program is supporting the recruitment and retention of health workers and their families in regional and rural NSW by providing a range of accommodation options.

The funding, part of the 2024-25 Budget, is delivering more than 20 key health worker accommodation projects across the state.

The Minns Labor Government has also allocated $10 million from the $200.1 million Key Health Worker Accommodation program to deliver key health worker housing for paramedics in regional NSW.

NSW Health continues to work with local health districts, NSW Ambulance, Homes NSW, and the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development to identify appropriate key health worker accommodation options and sites across NSW.
