Cura Day Hospitals Group has announced plans to develop its 38th hospital in Australia, a purpose-built facility in Noosa that will include ophthalmology services.
Cura CEO Mr Peter Freeleagus said the Noosa Day 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.
“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,” he said.
Freeleagus said Noosa Day Hospital had been developed in close consultation with surgeons to ensure it met 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.
“To be located in a growing health and commercial hub in one of Australia’s most popular destinations is vitally important for our business. As well as exceptional care, the hospital will offer ample free parking, a patient drop-off zone, and dedicated ambulance bays which will ensure ease of access for patients, staff, doctors and suppliers,” he added.
The hospital is expected to generate approximately 60 new jobs across clinical, administrative, and support roles. Surgeons and staff interested in opportunities at Noosa Day Hospital are encouraged to contact Ms Kaylene Elliott, national hospitals operations manager at kelliott@curagroup.com.au.
The hospital fit-out is set to begin in the coming weeks and the facility is scheduled to open in mid-2026.
