Mona Vale Hospital
Mona Vale Hospital

Mona Vale Hospital is located in the suburb of Mona Vale, on the Northern Beaches of metropolitan Sydney, Australia. It is a public hospital managed by New South Wales Health, and part of the Northern Sydney Local Health District.The hospital was incorporated on 21 November 1958 under the Public Hospitals Act 1929, and opened on 22 February 1964 by the then Minister for Health, the Hon. William Francis Sheahan. It initially accommodated 152 inpatients, with acute specialty services in Emergency Medicine, Intensive Care, General Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, General Medicine, General Paediatrics, Geriatrics, Rehabilitation and Palliative Care. The Accident and Emergency department opened shortly thereafter, on 23 March 1964. Finally, in 1975, a 43-bed Paediatric Unit was opened on Level 6, replacing a staff canteen.In October 2018 the majority of acute specialty services were transferred to the newly built, semi-private Northern Beaches Hospital. As a result, Mona Vale Hospital was redeveloped to include a range of sub-acute inpatient services, including geriatric, rehabilitation and palliative Care, as well as the establishment of an outpatient community health centre for allied health and nursing reviews. The hospital features a 24-hour urgent care centre equivalent to a level one emergency department. A February 2020 report into the poor performance of the Northern Beaches Hospital recommended restoring the status of Mona Vale Hospital to a “Level Three” emergency department but this was rejected by the NSW Government.In September 2020 the NSW Government confirmed its plans to demolish the main hospital building because it contained asbestos, despite significant local opposition. Demolition works began in 2021 and by May 2021 the main hospital building had been completely removed.
