Murrumbidgee Local Health District said the temporary changes at Berrigan and Urana, both implemented before Christmas, ended on Thursday.
The restricted hours were put in place at five MLHD facilities to address staff leave arrangements.
Restricted hours continue at Batlow MPS, Coolamon-Ganmain MPS and Murrumburrah-Harden Health Service until January 31, unless safe to lift beforehand.
With the restrictions lifted, emergency services are now again available at Berrigan 24 hours, seven days per week.
“These temporary changes support our dedicated staff and ensure the continuation of safe, high-quality healthcare services for all patients while nursing recruitment continues,” an MLHD spokesperson said.
“MLHD recognises and is deeply thankful for the outstanding commitment and tireless efforts of our nurses and midwives.
“We acknowledge these temporary service changes are disappointing for the impacted communities and apologise for the inconvenience they may cause.
“MLHD will continue active recruitment efforts including offering the increased incentive package of up to $20,000 for the hardest to fill critical healthcare roles for health workers relocating to rural and remote locations.
“We are working closely with NSW Ambulance to maintain 24/7 access to emergency care and facilitate rapid transfers to the closest specialist care centre when required.”
Free health advice is also available to people across NSW 24/7 by calling Healthdirect on 1800 022 222.
A registered nurse will assess their condition and then connect them to the right care for them, close to home or virtually.
If an illness or injury is not life-threatening, MLHD encourages people to visit their GP or call Healthdirect on 1800 022 222.
