Australia’s New South Wales (NSW) Government has announced the completion of construction works on the final phase of the A$200m ($131.20m) Wyong Hospital redevelopment, including upgrades to its cancer centre.
This completion is a significant milestone for healthcare delivery in Wyong and the northern Central Coast region.
Wyong Hospital’s latest stage of redevelopment delivers a range of new and enhanced services, including a larger pathology laboratory, a women’s outpatient service, an expanded cancer day unit, and dedicated spaces for the carer support and Nunyara Aboriginal Health units.
The A$6.4m expansion of the Wyong Cancer Centre offers eight new consultation rooms and services such as specialist consultations and chemotherapy administration.
The new women’s outpatients service includes a purpose-built area for pregnancy clinics, with additional services set to include early pregnancy assessment service, day assessment unit, an expanded high-risk pregnancy and gynaecology services.
An upgraded pathology laboratory, equipped with the latest technology, will help meet increasing demand and support diagnosis and monitoring of various health conditions.
A dedicated area for the Nunyara Aboriginal Health Unit will host the hospital liaison officers, Aboriginal complex care team, cancer care coordinator, and palliative care service.
In addition, a separate area for the carer support unit includes a quiet room, business centre, lounge, shower facilities, and spaces for group meetings.
The hospital now offers a new medical workspace designed to facilitate collaboration among clinical teams, with updated office and meeting facilities.
The pathology laboratory, cancer centre, and women’s outpatients are currently in operation while further services are scheduled to commence in stages starting in 2026.
NSW premier Chris Minns said: “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.
“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.”
Last month, the NSW government announced the completion of the A$110.2m ($71.9m) Cowra Hospital Redevelopment.
