Woy Woy Hospital

Overview

Woy Woy Hospital is a specialised rehabilitation and aged care facility serving the Central Coast region of NSW. With approximately 70 beds, this campus of Central Coast Local Health District provides rehabilitation services, geriatric evaluation and management, palliative care, and transitional care programs rather than acute emergency services. The facility employs multidisciplinary teams including rehabilitation specialists, geriatricians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and specialised nursing staff to deliver comprehensive care for older adults and those requiring rehabilitation. Located on the Woy Woy Peninsula approximately 80 kilometers north of Sydney, the hospital serves the significant older population of the southern Central Coast region. Following service reconfiguration, acute and emergency services are provided at Gosford and Wyong Hospitals, while Woy Woy has developed specialised expertise in rehabilitation and aged care services. The facility plays an important role in providing these specialised services closer to home for Peninsula residents, reducing the need to travel to Gosford for rehabilitation and geriatric care. Woy Woy Hospital maintains strong community connections through its Hospital Auxiliary and volunteer programs that enhance the patient experience at this specialised facility focused on restoring function and independence for predominantly older patients.
