Theatres

​The Net Zero Hubs (2024-2027) is an Australian-first program establishing multi-disciplinary teams to lead decarbonisation activities in clinical carbon hotspots across NSW Health. We know that more than half of health’s carbon footprint is from clinical care. 

Operating theatres are recognised as a key emission hotspot. Based at Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD), the Net Zero Theatres Hub is delivering decarbonisation activities to support the transition to a high-quality, low-carbon and climate resilient health​ system. The Net Zero Theatres Hub is led by Dr Soni ​Putnis, Dr Simon Coo​k and Belinda Jensen.​
