Ward 17 (1998-2004)
The series was set in a fictional
Sydney suburban hospital called
All Saints Western General Hospital. The stories originally focused on the nursing staff of Ward 17, which was also known as the 'garbage ward' because it took the overflow of patients. Ward 17 was led by Nursing Unit Manager Terri Sullivan (
Georgie Parker). Ward 17 was closed in April 2004 and the doctors and some nurses moved to the Emergency Department.
