Communities across the Eurobodalla region are one step closer to receiving expanded world‑class health care, with the façade of the new Eurobodalla Hospital now revealed as construction progresses for the project.

The Minns Labor Government's $330 million Eurobodalla Regional Hospital development will deliver a modern, purpose‑built facility with a range of high-quality health care services for communities from Narooma to Batemans Bay, significantly improving access to essential health services.

The Minns Labor Government is delivering more hospitals and more beds to meet the health needs of growing communities, after the Coalition failed to deliver or properly fund major hospital projects around NSW.

The new façade for the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital features a light-filled glass-fronted foyer that will welcome patients, visitors and staff into the new hospital, along with silver and bronze-toned cladding to reflect the surrounding landscape. 

The community has also been given a first look at the significant progress inside the new hospital, with images revealing the new maternity unit, maternity staff station, and a recovery‑based space, which will support patient‑centred care and contemporary work environments for clinicians and health staff.

With the building façade complete, construction will continue on the internal fit‑out, services installation, and external landscaping works.

The new hospital has been shaped in consultation with clinicians, staff, community members and guided by local Aboriginal knowledge.

The new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital includes:

• A larger Emergency Department
• An eight‑bed Intensive Care/Close Observation Unit — the region's first Intensive Care Unit
• Surgical and operating theatres, including a day‑stay surgical unit
• Expanded chemotherapy and renal dialysis services
• An expanded medical imaging department, including MRI
• Ambulatory care and outpatient services
• Paediatric and maternity services, with a special care nursery
• Mental health beds for short term care
• Education and training facilities, including a simulation laboratory

The project is expected to be completed in 2027.

The Minns Labor Government is making record investments to deliver the health facilities  growing communities around NSW need, including:

• $910 million for the new Rouse Hill Hospital – which the Liberals promised and failed to deliver at three elections;
• $2 billion for the new Bankstown Hospital – which the Liberals promised in 2019 and failed to deliver;
• $630 million for the Fairfield Hospital Redevelopment, including an $80 million contribution from the Commonwealth Government;
• $350 million for the Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment;
• $120 million for additional beds for Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospital; and
• $330 million to open the New Eurobodalla Hospital at level 4.

Quotes attributable to Minister for Health Ryan Park:     

“The façade unveiling of the new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital marks a major step toward delivering the contemporary health services local families deserve in a modern fit for purpose new hospital.

“This new hospital will bring lifesaving care closer to home, including the region's first Intensive Care Unit, expanded surgical capacity, and enhanced maternity and paediatric services.

“Once complete, the new hospital will be larger than the existing Moruya and Batemans Bay hospitals combined and equipped with capacity deliver essential health care now and into the future.

“The Coalition failed to deliver the hospitals and health staff that NSW needed, devastating our health system. The Minns Government is correcting this, making record investments to deliver more hospitals and more beds to meet the health needs of growing communities."

Quotes attributable to Member for Bega Dr Michael Holland:    

“Today's milestone brings us another step closer to delivering the high quality, accessible care that the people of Eurobodalla have long advocated for.

“With work now progressing on the interior of the new hospital, we're beginning to see the first of the new maternity and recovery spaces emerge, each designed to provide dignified, patient-centred care for our growing community.

“This hospital will be transformative for our region, and I'm proud to see it edging closer to completion."
