The Arts and Culture Strategy will be prepared and will be included in the Business Case for the new Shellharbour Hospital. The strategy will be developed in the context of the NSW Health: Arts Framework 2016.

ARTS WORKING GROUP
The new Shellharbour Hospital development will soon commence the next stage of project planning, exploring how arts can help deliver exciting, welcoming and dynamic spaces for patients, carers, staff and the community. Beautiful artistic spaces can also help with wayfinding and ensure indoor and outdoor spaces complement health service delivery.
