The Health Services Association of NSW provides :

It is an influential advocate in representing the interests and involvement of its members in NSW Health Strategic and Service Planning.

War Memorial Hospital Waverley has appreciated its membership with the HSA NSW for over 15 years. The membership brings with it an invaluable network of similar organisations from across the health and disability landscape. There is opportunity to share ideas and learn from others, the areas of opportunity span for example strategic, operational, financial, growth and service provision. The HSA is a conduit to readily meet and form beneficial relationships with other organisations and leaders on both a formal and informal basis. The membership also affords opportunity to have direct audience with the Office of the Minister for Health & Medical Research , the Ministry of Health and the supporting Pillars. Providing opportunity for a collective voice for Affiliated Health Organisations and other not for profit service providers.

“ Karitane is committed to ongoing collaboration through the Health Services Association membership where we have the opportunity to collegially discuss, share and advocate on matters that we have in common with the Affiliated Health Organisations and other member agencies. We have gained many benefits as HSA members including the establishment of a strong advocacy network, collaborating on Enterprise Bargaining Agreements, legal, IT, financial/funding and governance matters. Karitane believes that the HSA has, in recent years particularly, been pivotal in establishing and maintaining strong relationships & direct dialogue representing our members with NSW MoH, NSW eHealth, other NSW Pillar agencies and relevant Ministerial portfolios.”

Chris O’Brien Lifehouse has enjoyed a productive affiliation with the Health Services Association of NSW for seven years. Our membership has given us access to a diverse network of healthcare industry peers and provided wonderful learning and knowledge sharing opportunities. It has given us a voice within the NSW Ministry of Health and invaluable, regular contact with the Minister. By providing a forum for collaboration, HSA NSW membership has allowed us to shape conversations around common industry issues and engage in collective problem-solving.

Hawkesbury District Health Service have been a part of the HSA NSW membership group since early 2018. The membership has provided access to valuable resources including opportunities to collaborate with other health care organisations and leaders. The face of health care, including consumer expectations are continually changing resulting in a unique set of challenges. A platform where sharing ideas, discussing scenarios with like-minded professionals is essential for strategic growth and best practice. This has been one of the most advantageous aspects of our affiliation with HSA NSW. HSA NSW have also been pivotal in establishing a network between its members and the NSW Ministry of Health, in addition to other Pillar agencies. These channels of communication have been fundamental in navigating the health system to achieve positive outcomes.
