The Location
Northern NSW is a diverse region spanning from the jacaranda city of Grafton in the south, to the golden beaches of Tweed Heads in the north. The district is located on the traditional lands of the Bundjalung, Githabul, Gumbaynggirr and Yaegl nations.
The Tweed Valley is a subtropical oasis encompassing the rugged terrain of Wollumbin National Park, arty riverside villages, historic coastal towns and the gateway to the Gold Coast. The Ballina and Byron Shires include some of Australia’s most famous surf breaks and holiday destinations, while the hinterland is rich with vibrant communities and mouth-watering local produce.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing tree-change, a family destination or an adventure, there’s something to suit every lifestyle. Our staff live and work in some of Australia’s most sought-after destinations, where work/life balance is not a buzzword, it’s a reality!

Tweed Valley Hospital Development
The NSW Government is investing 723.3 million in health for the Tweed Valley to deliver a new state-of-the-art facility with more beds and increased healthcare services, along with interim upgrades at The Tweed Hospital.
The Tweed Valley Hospital will be a major referral hospital at the heart of the network hospitals and health facilities across the Tweed-Byron region. It will provide the health services required to meet the needs of the growing population of the region beyond 2032.
The development will provide the community access to more health services closer to home, which will enable patients to remain near family, friends and existing support networks. It will reduce the need for 5,000 patients to travel outside the region each year to receive treatment.
