Project

The Shoalhaven Hospital Redevelopment (Redevelopment) will deliver contemporary and expanded hospital services and integrated health facilities for the Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District.

The NSW Government has committed $440 million to the Redevelopment and will make it the health hub for the entire region. It will provide the majority of emergency, critical care, acute, subacute and non-admitted services locally, reducing the need to transfer patients to Wollongong and Sydney. The Redevelopment includes a new building for acute care services, directly connected to the existing hospital.

The redevelopment will include:

  • a new Emergency Department emergency short-stay unit
  • a new intensive care unit, operating theatres and doubled endoscopy & procedure rooms
  • a dedicated cardiology inpatient unit, coronary care unit & catheterisation lab
  • new vascular surgery services and expanded orthopaedic, general surgery and urology services
  • new medical wards for specialities including gastroenterology, respiratory, oncology, endocrinology, & general medicine
  • a new MRI service & expanded medical imaging
  • a specialist rehabilitation unit & expanded outpatient department
