The Muswellbrook community is one step closer to a new Community Health space at Muswellbrook Hospital, with construction now complete.
The space is being delivered as part of the State Government’s 45 million dollar Muswellbrook Hospital Redevelopment Stage 3, which aims to provide modern, contemporary areas to support the community’s healthcare needs. It will offer a wide range of services, including nursing care, child and family health care, and allied health services tailored to individual needs.
Located within Muswellbrook Hospital, the new space features contemporary consultation and treatment areas, aimed at improving access to services and strengthening referral pathways to other hospital services for patients and staff. In the coming weeks, Community Health services will relocate from the Wiedmann Wing at the existing site to the new area, with services continuing to operate throughout the move.
The milestone builds on the recent completion of a new operating theatres suite, delivered as part of the redevelopment and opened in early 2026. Construction of a new sterilisation department is expected to begin in 2027.
Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said the new space would improve access to essential health services for people across the region.
“These integrated health services will help ensure people have access to child and family services, nursing care, and allied health services more conveniently and closer to home,” Park said.
Upper Hunter MP Emily Suvaal said the redevelopment formed part of a broader investment in regional healthcare.
“The State Government is committed to delivering the healthcare infrastructure regional communities need, now and into the future,” Suvaal said.
