Following newsletter 495 sent 21 May 2024, the Children’s Healthcare Network has now extended the feedback period for its proposed restructure.

The proposal involves transitioning to a new network, the Children Young People and Families Health Network (CYPFHN). Under the new arrangements, there would be one statewide team focusing on identified statewide priorities with a new governance structure and ways of working. The intention is for CYPFHN to be a network for the state jointly hosted by Sydney Children's Hospitals Network (SCHN) and Hunter New England Local Health District (HNELHD).
