NEW SHELLHARBOUR HOSPITAL 

A brand new hospital will be built at Dunmore Road, Dunmore and will provide the local community with:

• an expanded emergency department
• specialised elective surgery services
• rehabilitation and aged care services
• acute medical services
• expanded mental health services
• new drug and alcohol unit
• renal dialysis
• outpatients care services 
• car parking and improved public transport links. 

This important piece of infrastructure will provide more care closer to people's homes, reducing the need to travel out of the area for treatment. The new hospital will include state-of-the-art facilities for emergency and critical care, mental health, medicine and surgery, rehabilitation and ambulatory care in a new location where we will continue to care for the community well into the future.

The new hospital will play a significant role in the District's service network and will be a significantly larger and more capable hospital. It will:

• become the District's specialist elective surgical centre, with an efficient high volume short stay model delivered in specific facilities
• continue to be the District's centre for mental health inpatient care, with new recovery-orientated facilities
• cater for the local (and growing) community for a range of services through a significant increase in size and capability.
