Western Nsw   

The Morrison Government was warned about the detrimental impacts of a COVID-19 outbreak in western NSW by the community in a letter sent in March 2020.

Governments have leapt into action to tackle a food crisis in the COVID-19 stricken town of Wilcannia but residents say it's taken a crisis for their calls for more housing to be heard.

Please note: This story contains reference to someone who has died. An Aboriginal man has died from COVID-19 in western New South Wales on Monday.

The New South Wales Deputy Premier has apologised for any "distress" his comments caused comparing funeral attendees in Wilcannia to "dickhead" partygoers in Maroubra.

With the COVID-19 outbreak in western New South Wales growing by the day, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health organisations (ACCHOs) are working overtime to get local mob vaccinated.
