Have Your Say About After-Hours Healthcare

Published on 20 April 2026

Western NSW Primary Health Network is inviting community members to share their experiences and feedback on accessing healthcare after hours.

Accessing healthcare during evenings, nights, weekends and public holidays can be challenging, particularly in rural and regional communities. Community feedback will help identify gaps in services, understand local challenges and barriers, and highlight what is working well.

What will be discussed

Workshops and feedback will explore:

Experiences accessing or delivering after-hours care
Service gaps and unmet needs
Local challenges such as workforce, distance and awareness
Ideas and solutions to improve access

Upcoming virtual sessions

Community members can register to attend one of the following sessions:

Warrumbungle Community Session
Tuesday 22 April 2026, 11:30am to 1:00pm
Region-wide Community Session
Thursday 7 May 2026, 12:00pm to 1:30pm

Additional sessions are also available for specific groups:

Residential Aged Care Homes – 7 May, 9:00am to 10:30am
Primary Care / General Practitioners – 7 May, 6:30pm to 8:00pm
