CODE 101   South Eastern Sydney

Includes Lord Howe Island.

Comments:Help on this term

Some jurisdictions have their own local terminology for the areas and administrative units known nationally as Local Hospital Networks. For example, in New South Wales they are known as 'Local Health Districts', in Queensland they are known as 'Hospital and Health Services', in South Australia they are known as 'Local Health Networks', and in Tasmania they are known as 'Tasmanian Health Organisations'.

Maps of the geographical areas covered by the Local Hospital Network areas, other than those in Victoria and Western Australia, can be viewed through the Local Hospital Network portal on the Department of Health and Ageing website:
