$10m plan for Port Macquarie Private Hospital

Port Macquarie Private Hospital has announced a $10 million expansion project aimed at boosting healthcare services on New South Wales' Mid-North Coast.

Construction of stage one is set to begin in June 2025 and be completed in April 2026.

Its range of upgrades will include a new operating theatre and the introduction of onsite radiology services.

The ensuites of 12 existing patient rooms will be renovated and extended, the day surgery patient admission area will be expanded, a new lobby and main reception area developed, with more parking added to improve accessibility for patients.

Stage two of the development will cater for future growth, with plans for additional operating theatres, a new patient ward, more day surgery space, an onsite dispensing pharmacy, and new consulting suites.

"I'm excited to be expanding Port Macquarie Private Hospital to offer much-needed healthcare services to the growing Port Macquarie region," CEO Moira Finch said.

"The new operating theatre will increase our total to seven, allowing us to extend our existing surgical offerings. The planned expansion in stage two, including additional theatres and services, will future-proof our hospital's ability to serve the expanding community.

"The upgraded rooms and patient admission area will improve the comfort and experience for those receiving care and the additional onsite parking will make it easier and more convenient for patients and their visitors to attend the hospital."

Built in 1979, Port Macquarie Private Hospital is a 72-bed facility offering a comprehensive range of medical, surgical, and rehabilitation services. 

It is run by Ramsay Health Care, Australia's largest private hospitals operator.
