*As of 1st December 2017, sugar sweetened beverages have been removed from Fairfield Hospital as part of the NSW Health led initiative Healthy Food and Drink for Staff and Visitors.

The initiative aims to increase the availability of healthy food and drink options while reducing unhealthy options in cafes, vending machines, kiosks and catering across all health facilities in the State.

No sugary drinks are available at any SWSLHD facilities, however there is still the choice of other healthier options including water, juices with no added sugar, diet drinks, tea, coffee and milk drinks.

The Healthy Food and Drink for Staff and Visitors Framework does not apply to food and drink options provided to patients in hospital and visitors, patients and staff are also free to bring their preferred choice of food and drinks from outside if they wish to.

The health and wellbeing of staff, visitors and our community is priority for the District, which is why we are committed to a healthy food and drink environment.
