Wyong Mental Health Centre is a 50-bed state-of-the-art facility
located at Wyong Hospital. Its co-location with other essential

When fully operational the Centre will triple the number of mental
health beds available on the Central Coast.
Within the Centre there are three specialist patient care areas:-
15 bed Older Person unit
25 bed Adult acute mental health unit
10 bed High-level observation unit
Wyong Mental Health Centre will open in stages commencing with
ten Older Persons mental health beds in the dedicated Older Persons
unit.
