Health Infrastructure is developing a new Tweed Valley Hospital and completed interim upgrades to the existing Tweed Hospital, to deliver increased healthcare services to meet the current and future needs of the Tweed-Byron community.

OVERVIEW

The Tweed Valley Hospital will deliver a new state-of-the-art facility that has more beds and greater capability to serve the growing Tweed-Byron community.

The development will provide residents access to more health services closer to home, enabling patients to remain near family, friends and existing support networks while receiving treatment.

The new hospital will have an embedded learning, development and research facility that will support educational opportunities for staff. It will also provide a contemporary working environment to help attract and retain a skilled workforce.

The NSW Government is investing $723.3 million to develop the Tweed Valley Hospital.
