New Kidney Care Centre opens at Prince of Wales Hospital
Patients are now benefitting from a significant advancement in kidney healthcare with the opening of the Prince of Wales Hospital Kidney Care Centre, delivered as part of the NSW Government’s more than $1.5 billion Randwick Campus Redevelopment.
The purpose-built centre will provide an integrated hub for renal services in NSW, bringing together specialist care in a modern, purpose-designed environment. Now open to patients, the centre has been designed to meet growing demand and increasingly complex patients, bringing together acute and satellite dialysis, home therapies, outpatient clinics, transplant support, vascular access management, paediatric services and multidisciplinary care in one state-of-the-art facility.
As the only centre in NSW offering such a comprehensive range of services under one roof, the Kidney Care Centre enhances patient experiences, efficiency, and clinical outcomes.
From acute haemodialysis for complex cases to long-term dialysis support, the centre delivers care across every stage of the patient journey.
Patients are supported to manage their treatment at home, while expert outpatient clinics and integrated kidney transplant services ensure continuity of care. Dedicated vascular access services and a strong multidisciplinary team further strengthen the centre’s clinical outcomes.
This innovative model also enables paediatric patients to receive specialised treatment while remaining connected to a lifelong care pathway, supporting their families and ensuring a smooth transition into adult services.
Additionally, the Kidney Care Centre offers both a vascular clinic and vascular ultrasound imaging in the same space, as well as advanced acute dialysis with cardiac monitoring for medically complex patients, allowing safe and timely treatment outside the traditional hospital ward.
These co-located services enhance collaboration across specialist teams, helping to reduce pressure on emergency departments and inpatient services while ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
The opening of the new Kidney Care Centre, together with the operationalisation of a range of refurbished areas within Prince of Wales Hospital, marks the completion of major works delivered as part of the Randwick Campus Redevelopment.
Refurbishment works within the existing Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick to complete the Sydney Children’s Hospital Stage 1 and Minderoo Children’s Comprehensive Care Centre project are progressing, with all works expected to be completed in 2027.
