Construction of the new Shellharbour Hospital is progressing as planned with the appointment of the main works contractor.

New South Wales Minister for Health Ryan Park announced that BESIX Watpac has been selected to build the hospital ­– a component of the over $780 million Shellharbour Hospital and Integrated Services project – following a competitive tender process.

“I’m delighted that we have reached another milestone in this important project, which will deliver a suite of enhanced healthcare facilities for the residents of the Illawarra as well as hundreds of local jobs,” said Park.

“The new Shellharbour Hospital will ensure the local community has first-class healthcare at their doorstep in state-of-the-art facilities.”

The project, jointly funded by the NSW and Australian Governments, includes an expanded emergency department, increased surgical capacity, and enhanced services such as rehabilitation, aged care, acute medical care, mental health, renal dialysis and outpatient care. It will also feature car parking and improved public transport links, and provisions for a future rooftop helipad.

The Shellharbour Hospital and Integrated Services project extends to expanded sub-acute services at Bulli Hospital, new rehabilitation and palliative care beds at Wollongong Hospital, and a new community health centre in Warrawong on the former Port Kembla Hospital site.

BESIX Watpac’s appointment, following the recent approval of the State Significant Development Application (SSDA), paves the way for main construction works to begin. The project team will start establishing the site and finalising the hospital’s design.

Member for Shellharbour Anna Watson highlighted that the project will address local population growth and alleviate pressure on other parts of the Illawarra Shoalhaven health network, including Wollongong Hospital.

“The works will also help drive education and job opportunities for the Illawarra region, supporting around 800 direct jobs during construction, with the potential to support thousands of indirect jobs over the life of the project,” said Watson.

The new hospital is expected to be completed in 2027.
