We’ve curated a remarkable collection of historical photographs from across the Western Sydney Local Health District and now we need your help to complete the story.
Join us for a relaxed morning tea as we take a trip down memory lane. Together, we’ll explore these images and invite you to share your memories, stories, and insights. Your contributions could help identify the people, places, and events captured in these photographs, ensuring they’re preserved for generations to come.
Whether you’re a long-time staff member, a volunteer, or simply passionate about our district’s history, your input is invaluable.
