Wyvern Private Hospital Opens in Terrey Hills

A new, state-of-the-art private hospital worth nearly $100 million has opened its doors to the Terrey Hills community. The Wyvern Private Hospital, located on Myoora Road, will provide much-needed surgical and rehabilitation services to residents of the northern beaches.



The hospital boasts 85 beds, eight operating theatres, a cardiac catheterisation lab, and a hydrotherapy pool, all designed with patient comfort in mind. Features like floor-to-ceiling windows with bushland views and a rooftop garden aim to create a peaceful healing environment.

Services and Specialities

Wyvern Private Hospital will offer a wide range of medical and surgical services. These include spinal surgery, neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery, vascular surgery, interventional cardiology, pain management, and ophthalmology. The hospital is expected to cater to the area’s ageing population, focusing on orthopaedics and spinal neurosurgery.

A Boost for the Community

When fully operational, the hospital is expected to create around 150 jobs, including doctors, nurses, and administrative staff positions. Wyvern Health Chair Dr William Sears highlighted the importance of providing world-class healthcare close to home for residents of the northern beaches. He stressed the hospital’s commitment to delivering high-quality services to patients, staff, and the community.

Environmental Considerations

The hospital has been built with a focus on environmental sustainability.  Wyvern has set aside 35% of the site as a protected natural area, including a coastal upland swamp.  They have also installed nesting boxes for local wildlife and planted 250 banksias.



Phased Opening

While the first patients were admitted earlier this month, the hospital will gradually increase its capacity in the new year.  Hospital CEO Carol Bryant said they would have a quieter period over Christmas and ramp up operations in January.  She confirmed that while they are still recruiting staff, they have enough personnel to care for the first patients.

$98-Million Private Hospital Brings Advanced Care to Terrey Hills

A new $98-million private hospital is now open in Terrey Hills, delivering advanced medical and surgical care to Sydney’s northern beaches community.



Opening Marks a Major Milestone

Wyvern Private Hospital, located on Myoora Road in Terrey Hills, admitted its first patients on 2 December 2024, following nearly two years of construction. The facility, which features 85 beds, eight operating theatres, and specialised units, aims to address the growing healthcare needs of the region, particularly its ageing population. Full capacity is expected to be reached in 2025, with an operational ramp-up planned after the Christmas period.

The hospital has been under development by Australian Unity’s Healthcare Property Trust, which secured a 30-year lease with Wyvern Health to operate the facility. It is part of a $3.9 billion investment in healthcare infrastructure to support communities across New South Wales.

World-Class Facilities in a Bushland Setting

The hospital will provide a wide range of services, including spinal surgery, neurosurgery, orthopaedic procedures, interventional cardiology, and pain management. Additional facilities include a cardiac catheterisation laboratory, radiology equipped with CT, MRI, and ultrasound, and rehabilitation services such as a hydrotherapy pool and gym.

Designed with patient comfort in mind, the hospital features floor-to-ceiling windows offering bushland views, a rooftop garden to reduce stress, and a café. The inclusion of a 148-space car park and 15 consulting suites ensures accessibility for patients and staff.

A Boost for Local Employment

The hospital is set to employ around 150 people, including 22 doctors and 69 nurses, when fully operational. While staff recruitment is ongoing, the facility has enough personnel to manage its initial intake of patients. Hospital CEO Carol Bryant expressed confidence in meeting the community’s healthcare needs, citing strong interest from local doctors in using the hospital’s facilities.

Australian Unity’s Chris Smith emphasised the long-term value of the hospital, noting its alignment with the area’s healthcare demands and its role in supporting investors through stable returns.

Meeting Northern Sydney’s Healthcare Needs

Wyvern Private Hospital addresses a pressing need for advanced healthcare in the northern beaches, particularly for older residents. Dr William Sears, Chair of Wyvern Health, stressed the importance of offering world-class care in a convenient, local setting. He said the hospital’s focus on delivering high-quality services extends to patients, staff, and the environment, with a commitment to enriching the surrounding community.



The facility’s combination of state-of-the-art equipment, specialised services, and a serene location makes it a significant addition to Sydney’s healthcare system.

To address concerns regarding the development’s impact on the flora and fauna as well as the pygmy-possum population on the Duffys Forest, the developer committed to protecting 35 per cent of the site in “perpetuity” by leaving it untouched and will only be accessible to arborists and ecologists.

“An extraordinary aspect of the new hospital will be the surrounding natural landscaped setting of Duffys Forest and the onsite coastal upland swamp. Steeped in Australian history and beauty it’s the home to the eastern pygmy-possum, one of the smallest possums in the world and currently noted under a vulnerable conservation status. The hospital has committed to being custodians of the land’s ecosystem and inhabitants, a commitment they hold with great pride, encapsulating Wyvern health’s mantra ‘Care without Compromise’,” the ADP Consulting wrote on its website about the project.

The project is expected to be completed in about 22 months.
