Officially Open!
It was a landmark moment for private healthcare on the Sunshine Coast — our Official Opening, a $100 million, ten-storey facility in the heart of Maroochydore City Centre, and a milestone that has been years in the making.
We were honoured to have Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli officially open our doors, joined by our project partners, clinicians and healthcare leaders for a ceremonial ribbon cutting. We’re proud to be the third hospital in the Fortius Hospitals portfolio, following successful openings in Newcastle and Adelaide, and to bring highly skilled clinicians, advanced technology and a purpose-built facility to one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions.
Fortius Hospitals Director Warwick Crosby said the opening represented a significant milestone for both the organisation and the Sunshine Coast community.
“Today marks the culmination of years of planning, collaboration and investment in healthcare for one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions,” Mr Crosby said.
“Globally, we are seeing a clear shift in how surgical care is delivered, with patients moving toward dedicated surgical facilities that improve patient experience and clinical outcomes. Maroochy Private Hospital has been designed around that philosophy, focusing on a select number of high-demand specialties and supporting clinical excellence, teamwork and innovation.”
Maroochy Private Hospital offers orthopaedics, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and pain management, supported by six operating theatres, advanced imaging, consulting suites and multidisciplinary clinical spaces. Our key clinical partner, Sunshine Coast Orthopaedic Group, delivers orthopaedic services from our top floor.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the opening of Maroochy Private Hospital represented a major investment in the region’s healthcare infrastructure and future.
“The Sunshine Coast continues to grow rapidly, and it’s important that our healthcare services grow alongside our community,” Mayor Natoli said.
“This world-class facility strengthens access to specialist healthcare close to home while creating jobs and attracting leading medical professionals to our region.”
This was more than a ribbon cutting. It was a celebration of the extraordinary commitment and collaboration of so many people who helped bring Maroochy Private Hospital to life.
To every team member, builder, partner, and supporter who has been part of this journey — from the foundations laid to the doors opening, thank you! This milestone was forged through dedication, perseverance, and shared purpose.
To all who joined us on the day — thank you for celebrating this moment with us.
A new era for private healthcare has begun.
