Wyong Palliative Care Unit

Work for the new palliative care unit at Wyong Hospital has taken a key step forward with the main works contractor appointed and major construction set to begin in the coming weeks.
 
The new palliative care unit is being delivered as part of the NSW Government’s $93 million World Class End of Life Care program, and will feature 12 palliative care bedrooms with ensuites, communal areas, meeting spaces and flexible outdoor spaces.
 
The new unit will be located in an existing building at the eastern end of the Wyong Hospital campus, which will be extensively remodelled to meet the future palliative care needs of the region.
 
Main works construction will start following the completion of enabling works, which includes relocating existing services in the building to other parts of the hospital campus.   
 
Builder Renascent Australia has been appointed following a competitive tender process, with work expected to start on site shortly.
 
The project team has been working closely with Central Coast Local Health District palliative care staff, carers and community members to complete the detailed design for the new unit, to ensure the best and most appropriate health facility 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.
