Construction works are complete on the third and final stage of the $200 million Wyong Hospital redevelopment, along with upgrades to the hospital’s cancer centre.
NSW Premier, Chris Minns says the upgrade delivers the Central Coast community a modern, world-class health facility with improved access to a range of health services.
“This redevelopment is about giving the Central Coast its fair share,” said Premier Minns.
“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.”
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 will enable 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.
“These new and expanded health facilities are all about making it easier for people to access the care they need, when and where they need it, closer to where they live. It’s about improving the patient experience and supporting our hardworking health staff,” said Regional Health Minister, Ryan Park.
“The completion of this stage means more services are available locally, reducing the need for travel and helping people stay connected to their families and communities during their treatment.”
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 expanded Wyong Cancer Centre and new women’s outpatient services will make a real difference for patients and their families, reducing travel time and improving access to care,” said Central Coast Local Health District Acting Chief Executive, Jude Constable.
“I’m incredibly proud of the teams here at Wyong who have worked so hard to deliver this final stage. These new health facilities will support our staff to continue providing exceptional care to our local communities in a modern, welcoming health environment.”
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.
