'''Sydney South West Area Health Service''', abbreviated '''SSWAHS''' and known by the corporate name '''Sydney South West Health''', was an area health service charged with the provision of public health services in central and south-western [[Sydney]]. It was formed in January 2005 from the amalgamation of the former Central Sydney Area Health Service and the South Western Sydney Area Health Service.
SSWAHS was a statutory body of the [[Government of New South Wales]], operating under the NSW Department of Health. The head office of SSWAHS was located in [[Liverpool, New South Wales|Liverpool]]. It was disbanded on 1 January 2011 as part of the National Health Reform and creation of Local Hospital Networks, and replaced by the [[Sydney Local Health District]] and [[South Western Sydney Local Health District]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110219054535/http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/initiatives/healthreform/index.asp Health Reform] [[NSW Health]]</ref>
