I am hoping NSW is not so bad simply because a few months back I ran into one of the contractors that did major upgrades to my Uni's systems several years ago* and he said his crew were being kept very busy up and down the coast doing hospital PC and infrastructure upgrades.
Can't speak for the hospitals, but the team got a lot of experience with modenising ancient computers hooked up to archaic and long-unsupported equipment at the Uni. (hence the need for contractors on top of the regular IT unit).
*I was a contractor on that team too at the time, but the Uni. picked me up full-time for a non-related tech role out in the faculties.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
