MLHD split fact sheet

Griffith deserves control of its own health.

For too long, decisions about our hospital have been made hundreds of kilometres away.

The result? Declining services, longer wait times, and local families forced to travel for basic care.

Splitting from the Murrumbidgee Local Health District isn’t about politics — it’s about people.

It’s about local doctors, nurses and managers finally having the power to deliver the services our community needs.

This reform means:

Decisions made in Griffith, not Wagga.

Better access to specialists and critical care.

Local accountability — and a hospital that can grow, not shrink.

We’re calling for the creation of the Western Riverina Health District — a model built on fairness, independence, and common sense.

It’s time to rebuild our health system from the ground up — and it starts right here.
