A new hospital with three state-of-the-art operating theatres is set to open next year.

Cura Day Hospitals Group will launch its latest facility, at the existing Noosa Health Precinct on Hofmann Road at Noosaville.

Cura CEO Peter Freeleagus said the hospital would provide high-quality day surgery services for patients across the Sunshine Coast region and beyond.

“This is our latest addition to Cura’s national network of 38 hospitals and will be our third day hospital on the Sunshine Coast, in addition to our well-established local hospitals including Sunshine Coast Day Surgery at Maroochydore and Kawana Private Hospital,” he said.

“The new multidisciplinary hospital will feature three state-of-the-art operating theatres, which are equipped with the latest surgical technology and supported by modern recovery and patient care areas.

“Our services will support a broad range of surgical specialties including ophthalmology, general surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, gastroenterology, orthopaedic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery and breast surgery.”

The hospital fit-out is set to start within weeks.

Mr Freeleagus said the facility has been developed in close consultation with surgeons to ensure it meets the highest standards of safety, efficiency and comfort for patients, doctors and staff.

“We are really excited to have found this space within the Noosa Health Precinct building. This new hospital reflects Cura’s ongoing commitment to investing in sustainable, high-quality hospitals in areas of growing demand,” he said.

The hospital is expected to generate about 60 new jobs across clinical, administrative and support roles.
