Albury Wodonga Health

Albury Wodonga Health Australia's only cross-border health service, providing safe, connected care to Albury-Wodonga communities.

Albury Wodonga Health acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and work. This land has never been ceded and always was and always will be Aboriginal land. We recognise the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Albury Wodonga Health is a cross-border health service who provides a comprehensive and growing range of health services to the communities of Southern New South Wales and Northeast Victoria. Since our establishment in 2009, we have continued to evolve and bring more services closer to home for over 300,000 people. We have 24 sites across Albury, Wodonga, Beechworth, and Wangaratta, which enable us to deliver access to high-quality, safe and connected health care right here on the Border.

Important update from North East Water - the water supply is safe to drink!

North East Water, following consultation with the Department of Health, advises customers that the precautionary boil water advisory issued on 23 December is now lifted for Wodonga, Bandiana, Baranduda, Barnawartha, Bonegilla, Chiltern, Ebden, Kiewa, Killara, Leneva, Springhurst, Tangambalanga and Logic Centre.

The precautionary boil water advisory was issued following potential contamination from rainwater that entered a treated water storage tank in Wodonga.

Water quality testing across the Wodonga network has confirmed that the water supply is safe to drink.

This advisory was put in place as a precaution to protect community health and safety, which is always our top priority.

We acknowledge that a boil water advisory at this time of year has impacted on our customers and communities, and we sincerely thank them for following the advisory and helping to share the message.

For further information, please go the North East Waterโ€™s website www.newater.com.au or call 1300 361 644.

The best part of the festive season? Getting together over food!

Last week, we loved sharing a little end-of-year cheer with our incredible Albury Wodonga Health team.

Staff came together for BBQ lunches, with something extra special for those who couldnโ€™t step away - snow cones were a welcome treat on some VERY hot days! And for teams across our sites and on night shift, pizzas made sure no one missed out on the celebrations. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿง

With our Executive Team and Board stepping in to serve lunch (yep -- hair nets, tongs and all!), it was a small way to say a big thank you for the care, commitment and compassion our staff show every single day. ๐Ÿ’š
