Delivering sustainable health care in Nepean Blue Mountains

Our plan

Our Sustainability Plan (PDF 1.6MB) touches all areas of our organisation, presenting many opportunities to help us to become increasingly resilient in the face of climate change.

We are currently focused on:

• reducing our pollution and preparing for the effects of climate change on health care
• improving building comfort
• encouraging staff engagement in sustainable activity
• reducing waste of utilities and fuel, and waste to landfill
• encouraging innovation in buildings and service delivery.

Solar panels

Across our hospitals, 2,242 solar panels will be installed which can generate 1,023 kilowatts of electricity for the local health district.

The solar panels are predicted to save around $185,000 in electricity bills each year.
