Overview
- Albury Wodonga Health will end its decade-long partnership with Ramsay Health Care and take direct control of inpatient and day oncology services.
- Ramsay will continue delivering care during the transition, with full public operation targeted for July 2026.
- Ramsay’s local chief executive said the announcement came as a surprise and that no formal transition plan is finalised, though the provider has pledged to work with AWH.
- AWH leaders say no jobs will be lost, services will continue uninterrupted, and cancer bed capacity will not change, with a joint clinician–executive steering committee guiding the process.
- The centre serves more than 250,000 people with 30 beds, 28 chemotherapy chairs and three radiotherapy bunkers, and local officials are seeking assurances that current quality is maintained.
