The Minns Labor Government has completed construction works on the third and final stage of the $200 million Wyong Hospital redevelopment, along with upgrades to the hospital's cancer centre.
This marks a major milestone in delivering healthcare closer to home for the communities of Wyong and northern region of the Central Coast.
The upgrade delivers the Central Coast community a modern, world-class health facility with improved access to a range of health services.
Stage 3 of the redevelopment includes a range of new and enhanced health facilities and services including:
- An expansion of the Wyong cancer day unit
- A new women's outpatient service
- An expanded pathology laboratory
- A dedicated space for the Nunyara Aboriginal Health Unit
- A dedicated space for the Carer Support Unit.
The $6.4 million expansion of the Wyong Cancer Centre is enabling more residents on the Central Coast access to vital care services closer to home.
The expanded unit features eight new consultation rooms and provides services such as chemotherapy administration and specialist consultations.
The new Wyong Women's Outpatients service provides a purpose-built space for pregnancy clinics.
A range of additional services will be introduced in a staged manner, including an Early Pregnancy Assessment Service, a Day Assessment Unit, expanded outpatient services for high-risk pregnancies and a broader range of gynaecological procedures.
The hospital's pathology laboratory has been expanded to meet growing demand, equipped with the latest technology to help diagnose and monitor a wide range of health conditions.
For the first time at Wyong Hospital, a dedicated space has been delivered for the Nunyara Aboriginal Health Unit. A number of important services will operate out of the unit, including the Aboriginal Complex Care Team, Aboriginal hospital liaison officers, the Aboriginal Palliative Care Service and the Aboriginal cancer care coordinator.
A new dedicated space has also been created for the Carer Support Unit to provide a welcoming space for carers, featuring a lounge, business centre, quiet room, shower facilities and meeting area for group activities.
The redevelopment also includes a new medical workspace designed to support clinical teams with modern, purpose-built office and meeting areas, offering a more functional and collaborative environment for medical teams.
With major works complete on Stage 3 of the redevelopment, a period of commissioning activities will continue over the coming weeks.
The Cancer Centre, Women's Outpatients and pathology laboratory are already operational, while remaining services will become operational in a staged approach from 2026.
The Minns Labor Government is delivering the infrastructure and essential services communities need, with this year's budget investing $12.4 billion to build and upgrade health facilities over the next four years.
