The 119‑bed hospital includes 100 acute care beds and 10 maternity beds, supporting approximately 19,500 emergency presentations, 2,500 surgical procedures, and 600 births each year. A 24‑hour Emergency Department with 15 treatment spaces is supported by an on‑site Intensive Care Unit and enhanced by telehealth connectivity to the NSW Critical Care Advisory Service, ensuring access to specialist expertise when needed.
The hospital is currently undergoing a major $250 million redevelopment, on track for completion in 2026, which will deliver modern clinical facilities and significantly enhance the working environment for staff. This investment reflects a strong commitment to high‑quality patient care and to supporting clinicians with contemporary infrastructure and resources.
