NBCAThe Northern Beaches Clinicians Alliance (NBCA) has welcomed confirmation from the NSW Government that private services will continue at Northern Beaches Hospital until at least June 2027, describing the announcement as an important and hard-won step in protecting local healthcare.
NBCAThe NBCA says the announcement that Northern Beaches Hospital will become a ‘high-volume surgery hub’ raises serious concerns about process, transparency and the protection of local care.
NBCAWhen did the Minns Government decide that Northern Beaches Hospital would become a high-volume surgery hub and why was that decision not disclosed to clinicians or the community at the time?
NBCANorthern Beaches clinicians raise concerns about plans to turn Northern Beaches Hospital into a high-volume surgery hub and what it could mean for local patient access.

NBCAIn urgent moments, distance matters. ‘Going public’ doesn’t guarantee the same services. Losing private capacity could mean longer waits and more travel.
