NSW Health is committed to ensuring people living in regional, rural and remote areas of NSW can access high quality, reliable and timely healthcare.
The Transport for Health project responds to a recommendation from the Rural Health Inquiry that calls on NSW Health, the rural and regional Local Health Districts and Transport for NSW to work collaboratively to ensure, where possible, more frequent and appropriately timed affordable transport services are available to support people to attend medical appointments in rural, regional and remote areas.
The vision
A refreshed approach to transport for health which allows equitable access to care for all NSW residents, particularly those in regional communities.
An approach which: improves community awareness of available services, increases availability to address identified service gaps and, where possible, improves coordination between stakeholders to maximise use of existing resources.
