New in Sydney’s northern suburbs is Wyvern Private Hospital.
Operated by Australian Unity Healthcare Property Trust, the world-class hospital in located in Terrey Hills on the Northern Beaches. Costing over $100 million, the facility is a state of the art surgical and rehabilitation hospital, set to service an ageing catchment in Sydney’s north. Though owned by AUHPT, the facility is being leased to Wyvern Health for a period of 30 years.
Construction began in April 2022, with a keen attention to environmental stewardship. This took the form of planting 250 banksia tress, installing 39 nestboxes, and litter clearing for local wildlife.
Inside the private hospital is 8 operating theatres, 76 surgical and inpatient beds, 9 ICU beds, and clinical support units such as medical imaging, pathology, rehabilitation, a hydrotherapy pool, and pharmacy.
Member for Mackellar, Dr Sophie Scamps, along with healthcare leaders and community representatives were at Wyvern Private Hospital for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the 6th of December.
‘Wyvern is the result of a decade of planning and the dedication of hundreds of healthcare professionals,’ said Dr William Sears, Founder and Chairman of Wyvern Health. ‘We’re honoured to be entrusted with delivering care without compromise to our patients, doctors, staff and the Northern Beaches community.’
Wyvern Private Hospital is guided “by the doctors for the patients” philosophy. This means that the choice of the location, the design of the hospital, the recruitment process was determined for the best “patient outcomes”.
