Healthcare workers in Broken Hill and Cooma will now benefit from new health worker accommodation, with 20 units at the Broken Hill Health Service and 12 units at Cooma Hospital and Health Service now ready to move into.
Broken Hill will be the final rural and regional site to be completed under the $45.3 million Key Worker Accommodation (KWA) Program in the NSW Government’s investment in housing for healthcare workers in Far West, Murrumbidgee and Southern NSW Local Health Districts.
The new, modern units will assist with the recruitment and retention of healthcare workers to the regions, with key worker accommodation in West Wyalong already attracting staff to the area.
Each new unit is fully furnished and self-contained featuring a light-filled living and dining area, modern kitchen, bedroom with ensuite, an internal laundry and a screened veranda.
Due to the success of the program an additional $200.1 million has been invested into Key Health Worker Accommodation across NSW.
