Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD) is one of the largest healthcare networks in New South Wales, spanning approximately 125,243 square kilometers across the Riverina and Murray regions. Serving a population of over 240,000 residents, the district operates 33 public hospitals and 12 primary health centers, stretching from the Snowy Mountains to the Victorian border. As the region's largest employer, MLHD maintains a workforce of over 5,000 staff members dedicated to delivering high-quality rural healthcare. The organization is guided by a vision of "Exceptional rural healthcare – Healthier together," emphasizing collaboration, respect, and care tailored to the specific needs of diverse regional communities.

The district provides an extensive range of medical services, including emergency care, maternity, mental health, and chronic disease management. Specialized offerings feature an accredited brain injury rehabilitation service, palliative care, and a robust virtual care (telehealth) network designed to bridge the gap for remote patients. MLHD also prioritizes community-based health through its "Community Care Intake Service," which coordinates allied health, counseling, and nursing support. With a focus on holistic wellbeing, the district works closely with the Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network (MPHN) to address regional health challenges such as aging populations and preventative health education.
