📣 Have your say on the future of Albury Wodonga Health

Plans for the proposed new Clinical Services Building at Albury Hospital are now on public exhibition, and we’re inviting our community to take a look and share their feedback.

The proposed seven-storey Clinical Services Building is at the heart of the $558 million Albury Wodonga Regional Hospital Project and will bring together a range of critical health services in modern, purpose-built facilities. 🏥

The Review of Environmental Factors (REF) outlines the plans for the new building and associated works, including a new hospital entry, parking, landscaping and access improvements.

We encourage our patients, families, staff and community members across the border region to explore the plans and have their say.

📅 Public exhibition: 9 am Monday 17 August – 11.59pm Monday 14 September 2026
💬 Have your say: Clinical Services Building | Albury Wodonga Regional Hospital project | Have Your Say

You can also meet members of the project team at community information and pop-up sessions being held during the exhibition period.

Your feedback will help inform the next stage of planning for the future Clinical Services Building.

Today, we celebrated our incredible Cancer Nurses at Albury Wodonga Health!

Nurses from Day Oncology, Oncology inpatient Ward, Paediatric Oncology, GenesisCare, Specialist Cancer Nurses, Palliative Care and Border Medical Oncology Research came together for a special lunch at the AWRCC tearoom.

Cancer nurses provide expert clinical care, compassionate support, education and advocacy throughout a patient's cancer journey. Today was our chance to say thank you for the strength, skill and specialisation you bring to our patients and their families every single day.

This year's theme: Strong. Skilled. Specialised, reflects exactly what our cancer nursing teams embody.

A special shoutout to all our local business supporters who got involved in celebrating our heroes.

This International Cancer Nurses Day, we're celebrating Jess Strauss, one of the dedicated oncology nurses here at Albury Wodonga Health.

Jess's connection to oncology nursing runs deep. Her grandfather was treated at the AWRCC when it first opened, and she remembers the kindness of the nurses who cared for him in his final days.

"I remember coming to the centre to say goodbye to him, and the nurses were so lovely and kind," Jess said. "It was reassuring to know that everyone here cared for him."

That experience inspired her to become an oncology nurse herself - a way of giving back to the community that supported her family when they needed it most.

Now, four years into her time at the AWRCC, Jess says it's the strength of her team that gets them through the toughest days, and the close bonds they build with patients that make the job so meaningful.

Thank you to every oncology nurse at AWH, for the care you bring to our community every day.

Measles spreads fast. Make sure you’re protected.

Measles cases continue to be reported in Victoria and NSW, the Ovens Murray Public Health Unit is reminding our community to check their vaccination status.

Two doses of the measles vaccine provide the best protection. If you’re unsure whether you’ve had both doses, check your immunisation record or speak with your GP or pharmacist. It’s safe to receive an extra dose if you’re unsure.

Measles can start with fever, cough, runny nose and red or sore eyes, followed by a red, blotchy rash.

If you develop symptoms, call your doctor or health service before you arrive and wear a mask to help protect others.

We’re proud to see one of our own helping shape safer healthcare across Australia.

Geoff from our Pharmacy team has been appointed to the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care’s Antimicrobial Stewardship Advisory Committee for 2026–2029.

The committee helps guide the safe and responsible use of antibiotics and other medicines used to treat infections across Australia.

Importantly, Geoff will bring the experience of regional, rural and remote healthcare to the table, helping make sure communities like ours are represented in national conversations.

It’s a great example of regional leadership in action and a recognition of the expertise we have here at Albury Wodonga Health.

Congratulations, Geoff.

This week we were proud to host the Community Connect BBQ at Hovell Tree Park in recognition of Hepatitis Awareness Week and Homelessness Week.

This event brought together community members and local service providers in a welcoming space to connect, share information, build relationships, and strengthen community support networks.

The Hepatitis C Service and Sexual Health Service at Albury Wodonga Health have been working closely with Yes Unlimited and Carevan to provide outreach services that help build trust and improve engagement with people who may be at increased risk of hepatitis C and other health concerns.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making the day such a success. Special thanks to Borella Road Butchery for kindly supplying the sausages for the BBQ.
