Designs for $438 million Shoalhaven Hospital unveiled

The expansion of Shoalhaven Hospital will transform healthcare services with a state-of-the-art health facility for the Shoalhaven community and improve health outcomes. 

A new acute services building connecting to the existing hospital, rooftop helipad and refurbishment of existing hospital buildings are among the highlights of the redevelopment. The redevelopment is also improving access to the hospital with alternate entry and drop off areas on Shoalhaven Street and North Street. 

The southern end of Nowra Park will be retained as greenspace for the local community to enjoy. Landscaped areas will also be established on the hospital's ground to create a welcoming space and enhanced experience for patients, staff and visitors. 

The $438 million project will provide new facilities including:

• cardiology
• mental health wards
• aged care wards
• more operating theatres and a new emergency department
• greater access to more specialised staff, equipment and technology. 

The Shoalhaven Memorial Hospital will complement other health projects for the Illawarra Shoalhaven community, including $700 million for the new Shellharbour Hospital, and recently completed projects including:

• $11.8 million for the new Shoalhaven Hospital multistorey car park
• $37.1 million towards the Bulli Hospital and the Dapto and Ulladulla HealthOne projects, delivered as part of the $100 million HealthOne program.
