SWSLHD have advised of proposed changes to the Occupational Therapy Department within Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital, South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD).

The Occupational Therapy department has 4 teams – the acute, outpatient, rapid response service (RRS) and aged care & rehabilitation (AC&R) teams. The proposed change is the structural realignment of the Rapid Response Service (RRS) into the acute team to ensure teams are operationally aligned.
