The $200 million redevelopment of the Wyong Hospital is now complete, delivering the Central Coast community a modern, world-class health facility with improved access to a range of health services.
This marks a major milestone in delivering healthcare closer to home for the communities of Wyong and northern region of the Central Coast.
Stage 3 of the redevelopment includes a range of new and enhanced health facilities and services including:
- An expansion of the Wyong cancer day unit
- A new women’s outpatient service
- An expanded pathology laboratory
- A dedicated space for the Nunyara Aboriginal Health Unit
- A dedicated space for the Carer Support Unit
The $6.4 million expansion of the Wyong Cancer Centre is enabling more residents on the Central Coast access to vital care services closer to home.
The expanded unit features eight new consultation rooms and provides services such as chemotherapy administration and specialist consultations.
The new Wyong Women’s Outpatients service provides a purpose-built space for pregnancy clinics.
A range of additional services will be introduced in a staged manner, including an Early Pregnancy Assessment Service, a Day Assessment Unit, expanded outpatient services for high-risk pregnancies and a broader range of gynaecological procedures.
The hospital’s pathology laboratory has been expanded to meet growing demand, equipped with the latest technology to help diagnose and monitor a wide range of health conditions.
For the first time at Wyong Hospital, a dedicated space has been delivered for the Nunyara Aboriginal Health Unit. A number of important services will operate out of the unit, including the Aboriginal Complex Care Team, Aboriginal hospital liaison officers, the Aboriginal Palliative Care Service and the Aboriginal cancer care coordinator.
A new dedicated space has also been created for the Carer Support Unit to provide a welcoming space for carers, featuring a lounge, business centre, quiet room, shower facilities and meeting area for group activities.
The redevelopment also includes a new medical workspace designed to support clinical teams with modern, purpose-built office and meeting areas, offering a more functional and collaborative environment for medical teams.
With major works complete on Stage 3 of the redevelopment, a period of commissioning activities will continue over the coming weeks.
The Cancer Centre, Women’s Outpatients and pathology laboratory are already operational, while remaining services will become operational in a staged approach from 2026.
Premier of New South Wales, Chris Minns, said that this redevelopment is about giving the Central Coast its fair share.
“This growing region needs modern facilities, and that’s exactly what we’re delivering here at Wyong,” Minns said.
“These upgrades mean fewer patients needing to travel for cancer treatment or support during pregnancy.
“We are building a stronger health system for the Central Coast.”
NSW Regional Health Minister, Ryan Park, said that these new and expanded health facilities are all about making it easier for people to access the care they need, when and where they need it, closer to where they live.
“It’s about improving the patient experience and supporting our hardworking health staff,” Park said.
“The completion of this stage means more services are available locally, reducing the need for travel and helping people stay connected to their families and communities during their treatment.”
NSW Minister for the Central Coast and Member for Wyong, David Harris, said that this is a great outcome for the Central Coast community, these new health services will make a real difference to people’s lives – especially those needing regular treatment or specialist care.
“We know the Central Coast is a high-growth region, and as our population grows it is essential we continue to bolster our local healthcare system and ensure locals can get vital treatment closer to home,” Harris said.
“It’s great to see Wyong Hospital continuing to deliver improvements in health service delivery that directly benefit patients and staff. These upgrades reflect our commitment to providing high-quality care and services.”
Central Coast Local Health District Acting Chief Executive, Jude Constable, said, “The expanded Wyong Cancer Centre and new women’s outpatient services will make a real difference for patients and their families, reducing travel time and improving access to care.
“I’m incredibly proud of the teams here at Wyong who have worked so hard to deliver this final stage. These new health facilities will support our staff to continue providing exceptional care to our local communities in a modern, welcoming health environment.”
