Have Your Say: New NSW Small Business Advisory Service

Wentworth Shire Council is encouraging local small business owners to contribute to the design of a new NSW Government small business advisory service.

The Service NSW Business Bureau is seeking feedback to ensure that future advisory supports are effective, accessible, and tailored to the actual needs of small businesses at every stage of their journey.

Why Your Feedback Matters

By participating, you can help the NSW Government understand:

  • The types of advice and key skills that are most critical to your success.
  • The specific challenges faced by businesses in regional areas like Wentworth.
  • The most effective ways to deliver these services to you.

How to Get Involved

There are two ways to provide your input before the deadline:

  1. Complete the Short Survey: Designed for quick but impactful feedback from business owners and their networks.
  2. Make a Written Submission: Provide a more detailed response regarding the specific supports that would best serve our local business community.

Key Dates

Consultation is currently open and will close at 11:59pm on Sunday 19 April 2026.

For more information on the project and to view the discussion paper, please visit the Have Your Say portal.

Free Breast Screening Mobile Clinic coming to Wentworth

Free Breast Screening Mobile Clinic coming to Wentworth

Wentworth Shire Council is pleased to support BreastScreen NSW as they bring their mobile screening service to our community this April.

1 in 7 women in NSW will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Because the risk increases with age, women aged 50 to 74 are particularly encouraged to attend, though all women over 40 are eligible for the free service.

Clinic Details

  • Dates: Tuesday 21 April to Wednesday 29 April 2026.
  • Location: Wentworth Health Service, 24 Hospital Road, Wentworth NSW 2648.
  • Appointment Length: Approximately 20 minutes.

Why Book a Screen?

  • Free Service: The BreastScreen NSW program is free for eligible women.
  • Peace of Mind: Mammograms can detect very small breast cancers before they can be seen or felt.
  • Female-Led: Screens are conducted by female radiographers in a private and professional environment.
  • No Referral Needed: You can book directly without seeing a GP first.

What to Remember for Your Appointment

  • Wear a two-piece outfit (you will need to remove clothing from the waist up).
  • Do not use talcum powder, deodorant, or creams on the day, as these can affect the X-ray.
  • If you have breast implants, please mention this when booking.

How to Book

Appointments are essential. You can book your free mammogram online or via phone:
