LOCATION & LIFESTYLE


The Central Coast is the area of NSW between Sydney and Newcastle. It contains many beautiful beaches, lakes, rainforests, and spectacular views: all the beauty of one of NSW’s top tourist destinations plus the comforts of a major metropolitan area. It is within easy reach of Sydney both by expressway and air-conditioned train. To the upper north shore of Sydney the trip by expressway takes half an hour. For a more leisurely trip one can take the ferry to the northern beaches of Sydney.

RECREATIONAL FACILITIES

All Central Coast Health staff can take advantage of the tennis court, swimming pool and gymnasium located at Gosford Hospital. In addition, Gosford Hospital features a cafe, florist, kiosk, staff cafeteria, chapel and new library, and is located only a few minutes walk from the Gosford CBD. Other sites also provide a number of amenities for staff.

Both Gosford and Wyong hospitals - the main places where hospital salaried doctors work - are still small enough for people to know one another, care about one another and a good spirit prevails.

SHOPPING AND RESTAURANTS

The Central Coast is well served by a number of shopping centres including two major shopping centres, one at Erina and one at Tuggerah. In addition you can browse in antique shops, buy your fruit and vegetables at roadside stalls, or visit one of the weekend markets to find a bargain.

All styles of cuisine are represented in the many restaurants in the area, from Tepanyaki to Thai, Australian to Italian, Indian to Seafood and Vegetarian, and many more. Alternatively there are dozens of cafes offering leisurely Sunday morning breakfasts, creative lunches, delicious dinners or coffee and cake after a movie. We also have many clubs and pubs with great restaurants and bistro style meals.

The cosmopolitan city of Sydney is also on your doorstep for those 'big city' delights.
