Wyong Hospital Redevelopment

The NSW Government is investing $200 million to redevelop Wyong Hospital, plus a further $6.4 million to expand the Wyong Cancer Day Unit.

Project information

The Wyong Hospital Redevelopment will significantly increase health capacity on the Central Coast and meet the growing healthcare needs of the community. 

The redevelopment has delivered a new hospital building, dincluding a new and expanded Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit. It also involved the refurbishment of parts of the existing hospital, including an additional operating theatre and three new recovery bays. 

The remainder of works underway include the expansion of the Cancer Day Unit and refurbishment and expansion of pathology, women's health, medical officer working accommodation and a new Aboriginal health unit and carers support unit.
