The NSW Government has allocated $212 million to redevelop Gosford and Wyong Hospitals under the Area’s Health Access Plan.

The new hospital being built on the Wyong Hospital site will almost double the size of the existing facility providing significantly increased capacity for the Shire’s rapidly growing population.

When completed the new development will transform Wyong
Hospital into one of the most modern in NSW and enhance its
role as the major acute hospital in the Wyong Shire.

Construction of the new hospital is expected to be complete at the end of 2004.

Features of the new hospital include:

• A new and expanded Emergency Department

• New Medical and Surgical Wards

• Six new Operating Theatres (including two Endoscopy theatres)

• An extended Medical Imaging, Pathology and Pharmacy Service

• New Outpatients Clinics

• A High Dependency Unit

• Education facilities

• Carparking which is located close to Emergency, Outpatients and the Main Entrance

The new facility will be progressively opened from 2004. On completion of the redevelopment Wyong Hospital will have a total of 319 beds.

A $10 million Mental Health Centre has been completed at Wyong Hospital. The facility has three specialist areas and will provide 25 Adult Acute beds, 15 Older Persons beds and 10 High-Level observation beds when fully operational.

Wyong Mental Health Centre will open in stages.
