Communities in Lismore are set to benefit from new Key Health Worker Accommodation, which will help attract and retain essential healthcare staff to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lismore is one of more than 20 Key Health Worker Accommodation projects in rural, regional and remote NSW across nine local health districts, as part of the Minns Labor Government\u2019s $200.1 million program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The investment will support the building of new accommodation, refurbishment of existing homes, and the purchase of suitable properties such as residential units, with Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) now seeking development partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new accommodation is planned to include between 10 and 20 self-contained, flood-resilient, studio apartments close to Lismore Base Hospital, ensuring healthcare workers have access to fit-for-purpose, comfortable and convenient accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NNSWLHD received $34.2 million as part of the program to deliver key health worker accommodation projects in Lismore as well as Grafton and Tweed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
