Message from the Board Chair It has been another exceptional year for Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD). In 2025, we’ve seen remarkable progress across our services, with many achievements that reflect the dedication, skill and innovation of our staff.
As we move forward with new initiatives, our incredible staff continue to deliver world-class healthcare with compassion and professionalism. Whether at the bedside, behind the scenes, or in leadership roles, their focus on delivering the highest standard of care is central to everything we achieve. It’s been a full and fulfilling year, as we partner with the community to build a healthier future. We continue to work towards net zero emissions by 2035 in the areas we can control. From cutting waste to improving energy efficiency, our teams are making practical changes that protect the environment while continuing to deliver high-quality care. Plans are moving ahead for the Sydney North HealthCARE Innovation Precinct at the St Leonards campus, with Royal North Shore Hospital at its centre. This visionary project brings together healthcare, research, education, and industry partners to work more closely together in order to improve health outcomes and make care more personalised and effective. We’re currently developing a strategic plan for the precinct focused on three key areas: delivering high-value healthcare, using clinical trials as part of treatment, and embedding education into everyday practice. This year also saw major progress on the $526.8 million Ryde Hospital redevelopment, with early works completed, interim
facilities delivered, and the foundations for the construction on the main site started. The new hospital will include an MRI machine, further enhancing diagnostic services for the community. The transition of Northern Beaches Hospital from current operator Healthscope to the NSW Health public system represents one of the most significant milestones in our district. The hospital’s leadership team and staff have demonstrated remarkable commitment and resilience, working collaboratively with NSW Health and NSLHD. As we move toward integration in 2026, we look forward to building on this strong foundation to deliver a truly unified, high-performing health service for the people of the Northern Beaches. I would like to thank district staff and everyone involved in the planning to ensure a smooth transition. Finally, I want to send a thank you to all our caring staff and volunteers for their extraordinary commitment. It is notable how engaged NSLHD staff are in getting the best outcomes for patients, their families and the community. I also want to thank all the donors whose generosity helps brings to life so much important work across the health system. I look forward to 2026 and seeing our many exciting and innovative projects, plans and clinical work continue. Trevor Danos AM Board Chair Northern Sydney Local Health District
