Strategic Plan
The Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) Board and Executive Team are delighted to present the NNSWLHD Strategic Plan 2019 – 2024. Our vision of A Healthy Community Through Quality Care underpins this Plan. It provides an overarching framework for working together with our community and service partners to deliver quality and safe health services to the communities of Northern NSW.
It provides a robust framework to drive our six new Strategic Priorities over the next five years. They are:
- Value, Develop and Empower Our People
- Our Community Values Our Excellent Person-Centred Care
- Empowering Aboriginal Health
- Integration Through Partnerships
- Effective Clinical and Corporate Accountability
- Champions of Innovation and Research.
These Strategic Priorities position the District to achieve our purpose to Work Together to Deliver Quality Health Outcomes Across Our Communities. The NNSWLHD Strategic Plan 2019 – 2024 maintains a strong emphasis on community and clinician engagement, and on ensuring our patients (and their carers and families) are at the centre of every decision we make.
We will develop more details plans such as the Health Care Services Plan to set out the pathway for achieving our vision and Strategic Priorities.

Budget Allocations
Northern NSW Local Health District Initial Budget Allocations and Activity
Northern NSW Local Health District remains committed to Activity Based Funding (ABF) as a corner stone of budget transparency and devolution, providing patient-focused insight for decision-making in health care.
The LHD Service Agreement with NSW Ministry of Health provides the basis on which anticipated patient volumes are notified to the Administrator of the National Health Funding Pool.
NSW State Price
The NSW State Efficient Price for 2023-24 of $5,207 per NWAU23, has been informed by the Cost per NWAU data of the 2021-22 District and Network Returns (DNR Clinical Costing Study).
Purchasing Model Improvements
In 2022/23, The NSW Treasury Outcome Budgeting initiative intends to transform the way budget decisions are made, and resources are managed in the NSW public sector The overarching objective of Outcome Budgeting is to shift the focus of the NSW Government to deliver better outcomes for the people of NSW with increased transparency, accountability and value.
NSW Health has identified five state outcomes that it will achieve for the people of NSW. The state outcomes cover the broad range of functions and services provided across care settings.
- Keeping people healthy through prevention and health promotion
- People can access care in and out of hospital settings to manage their health and wellbeing
- People receive timely emergency care
- People receive high-quality, safe care in our hospitals
- Our people and systems are continuously improving to deliver the best health outcomes and experiences
Further technical information regarding the NSW Small Hospitals funding model is available in the NSW Activity Based Management (ABM) and Activity Based Funding (ABF) Compendium 2022/23.
