Awards, Recognition & Affiliations
Our nursing and midwifery workforce are frontrunners in care, education and research and we recognise the valuable contribution they make to our community.
Rural and remote placements
The nurses and midwives in Sydney Local Health District are often called on in times of disaster and are deployed to areas that need their help. We have recently helped on the south coast during the bushfires and sent a team up to Lismore during the floods. This flexibility and adaptability shows the kindness and care that is inherent to our nurses and midwives and contributes to a more sustainable workforce.
