To be held across three days, from November 4-6, the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety's hearing will be at the Parklands Resort and Conference Centre.
The Mudgee hearing will inquire into arrangements for and issues associated with the provision of aged care services in regional areas, including multi-purpose services.
The hearing will have a particular focus on aged care services in the Mudgee region.
During September, the commission held 17 community meetings in Mudgee and Dubbo where 145 people attended and a number of frustrations into the aged care sector were heard.
The upcoming royal commission hearing in Mudgee will be the only one held in regional NSW with the public welcome to attend.
