Overview

Manly Hospital together with Mona Vale Hospital forms the Northern Beaches Health Service.

Manly Hospital and its community health services have served the Manly and Warringah local government areas since 1896. This hospital provides acute care services including critical care, emergency medicine, obstetric, medical, psychiatric, surgical and orthopaedic services. Non-acute services include oncology, day program for aged care rehabilitation, drug and alcohol services, stroke management, cardiac rehabilitation and podiatry. Community health services includes child, adolescent and family services, drug and alcohol, HIV prevention, mental health and health promotion services.

Manly Hospital has been awarded ongoing accreditation by the Australian Council on Health Care Standards for a further four-year period up to 18 May 2013. 

On 1 July 2009, maternity services from Mona Vale Hospital were co-located to Manly Hospital Maternity Unit as a result of the Mona Vale Hospital unit being refurbished due to asbestos removal works.  Over 1,200 births have occurred since that time.

Future Directions for the Northern Beaches Health Service

• Planning has been underway for the development of a new Northern Beaches Hospital at Frenchs Forest.
• The NSW Government recognises the benefit and the desirability of local commitment to the development of new health facilities on the Northern Beaches.  However, there are a large number of requests for projects across the State of New South Wales. 
• Construction can only start once the project is funded.  Project funding is announced annually as part of the State Budget.
• The Government is continuing to maintain an upgrade of services and facilities at Manly Hospital. 
• Recent completed projects include the upgrade of the Sterilising Department at a cost of $450,000, relocation and upgrading of the pharmacy department at a cost of $250,000, the establishment of a Safe Assessment Room in the Emergency Department at a cost of $90,000 and the re-development of the Intensive Care Unit at a cost of $2.5million.
