Construction set to begin on Wyong Hospital’s new palliative care unit

Major construction will soon commence on the new palliative care unit at Wyong Hospital with builder, Renascent Australia appointed.  

The new unit is being delivered as part of the NSW’s Government's $93 million World Class End of Life Care program.  

The project team have been working closely with Central Coast Local Health District palliative care staff, carers and community members to design a facility which will provide high quality care for the local community.  

Key design elements include:  

• Spacious bedrooms for visiting family members, featuring interior finishes to create a home-like environment and large windows overlooking private courtyards. 

• Individual patient balconies, with space to enable patients to access the outdoors and enjoy the garden landscape. 

• A large family room with dining spaces to accommodate family members to join for meals. 

• A central garden, with existing trees preserved to provide a backdrop to patients’ bedrooms. 

• A communal outdoor area that provides a private and spiritual space. 

The project is expected to be completed in late 2026.
