An updated health planning unit, HPU620 Renal Dialysis Unit (Revision 6) has been uploaded and outlines the specific requirements for the planning and design of renal dialysis services. This document is a revision of the HPU developed for NSW Health and issued for Australasian use in 2006. Its development has been informed by an extensive consultation process.

Major changes include:

• a significant revision of all information to make the document more concise and targeted;
• an updated functional relationships diagram
• an updated schedule of accommodation.

A thank you is extended to all those who have contributed to the review of this document.
