COVID-19 News & Updates

We want to address some of the feedback we've received about our recent update on hospital demand and emergency department wait times.

This International Day of the Midwife, we’re celebrating the people learning, growing, and shaping the future of maternity care at AWH. This year’s theme — One Million More Midwives — highlights the global need for more midwives, supported to do what they do best.

Albury Wodonga Health (AWH) is currently experiencing high demand across our hospital inpatient beds, which is slowing the flow of patients through the hospital. This may mean longer waits than usual in our Emergency Department, including for some people arriving by ambulance.

Albury Wodonga Health (AWH) has today announced that pharmacy services at Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre (AWRCC) will transition from Ramsay Health Care (RHC) to AWH management as of 28 August 2026, following AWH’s decision not to extend the current pharmacy operating arrangements at AWRCC beyond their current term.

This week, Albury Wodonga Health is celebrating Patient Experience Week (April 27 – May 1), a time to recognise the people, ideas and everyday moments that shape care across our health service.

At AWH, we’re proud to celebrate and support all our staff and volunteers who have served in the Australian defence forces. This ANZAC Day, we’re sharing the work of Jody Bellette in our Patient Support Unit and her career dedicated to service and care.

Albury Wodonga Health is inviting people with lived experience of disability, along with families, carers and community members, to help shape its new Disability Action Plan.

This World Health Day, Albury Wodonga Health is highlighting the role of research and collaboration in improving health outcomes for our community. 

For families across our region, the Good Friday Appeal is more than a tradition – it’s a lifeline.

Last week, Albury Wodonga Health welcomed the SMBE 2026 NSW Annual Conference to the Border.
