Construction begins on major hospital expansion in Port Macquarie

July 31, 2025

A significant expansion of Port Macquarie Private Hospital is now underway, marking the next step in improving access to high-quality health care for the growing Mid North Coast community.

The $10 million redevelopment officially commenced with a sod-turning ceremony attended by Port Macquarie Private Hospital CEO, Moira Finch, and State MP for Port Macquarie, Mr Rob Dwyer.

The project will deliver a new operating theatre, improved patient amenities, expanded diagnostic services and more parking — all designed to meet increasing demand for private health care in the region.

“This redevelopment will allow us to offer more services, more comfort and more convenience for our patients,” Ms Finch said.

“With a growing population and increasing demand for private health care in the region, it’s the right time to expand our facilities and future-proof our services.

“Stage one of the project includes the addition of a seventh operating theatre, the introduction of onsite radiology, and upgrades to 12 existing patient rooms.

“A new main reception area, expanded day surgery admission area, and additional parking will improve the hospital experience for patients and visitors alike.

“And a new central sterilising area will be constructed to support the hospital’s expanding operations.”

The redevelopment is expected to be completed by April 2026.

Planning has already begun for stage two, which will include additional operating theatres, day surgery and inpatient spaces, an onsite pharmacy and new consulting suites.

Port Macquarie Private Hospital has been delivering quality private health care to the region for more than 45 years. This redevelopment forms part of Ramsay Health Care’s continued investment in sustainable, accessible care for local communities.
