Hundreds of extra nurses and midwives are set to join the New South Wales (NSW) public health system as the Minns government works towards a goal of hiring more than 1000 new graduates.

The 520 frontline staff will begin working in western Sydney later this year, the government said, beating a previous record intake of 383 graduates.
