An organisation or institution whose name is included in column 1 of Schedule 3 is an affiliated health organisation in respect of any of its recognised establishments and recognised services.

The Governor may, by order published on the NSW legislation website—

amend column 1 of Schedule 3 by inserting the name of any organisation or institution (other than a local health district or statutory health corporation) that controls any hospital, health institution, health service or health support service, or

amend column 2 of Schedule 3 by inserting a description of any hospital, health institution, health service or health support service under the control of the organisation or institution, or

amend Schedule 3 by omitting or altering any such name or description, or

omit Schedule 3 and insert instead a Schedule containing the names of any organisations or institutions (other than local health districts or statutory health corporations) and descriptions of any hospital, health institution, health service or health support service under their control.

An order made under subsection (2) may amend column 2 of Schedule 3 to describe an organisation or institution by reference to some or all of the hospitals, health institutions, health services or health support services it controls.

An order cannot be made under this section—

inserting or altering the name of an organisation or institution in column 1 of Schedule 3 unless the organisation or institution (or its governing body) consents to it, or

inserting or altering a description of any hospital, health institution, health service or health support service under the control of an organisation or institution in column 2 of Schedule 3 unless the organisation or institution (or its governing body) consents to it.
