Tugun Satellite Hospital Officially Open!

In November we officially opened the new Tugun Satellite Hospital!


The new facility will take pressure off our major hospitals and has begun welcoming its first patients.


To start with it will offer:

  • The Minor Injury and Illness Clinic which features six patient bays, a stabilisation area, a plaster room, and a procedure room that will operate 8am-10pm, seven days a week.


It will also provide medical imaging and diagnostic services, including x-ray and pathology. From early next year it will also offer:

  • maternity

  • kidney dialysis,

  • and allied health services.


The Tugun Satellite Hospital will significantly expand capacity on the Gold Coast, with a weekly capacity to deliver:

  • walk-in urgent care for up to 490 patients (depending on the case mix)

  • 144 kidney dialysis treatments

  • 80 day-medical treatments

  • 520 outpatient appointments in the consult and treatment rooms.


This is all part of our Big Health Build and adds to the new Coomera Hospital we will deliver and expansions at GCUH and Robina.
