According to the NSW government, this will be the first time Wyong Hospital will have dedicated spaces for an Aboriginal Health Unit and a Carer Support Unit.
The commencement of third phase of work at Wyong Hospital builds on the completion of first and second phases in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
In November 2022, the NSW Government allocated A$13.6m funding for opening a 12-bed Palliative Care Unit at Wyong Hospital.
