As of Monday 16 March there has been one confirmed case of COVID-19 in the Illawarra Shoalhaven region. The case is a returned traveler who has had contact with another confirmed case and has been in self isolation since returning to Australia.

In a NSW first, patients booked for the most complex surgeries at Wollongong Hospital have the opportunity to attend "Surgery School" to learn how to physically and mentally prepare themselves.

A major transformation of Wollongong Hospital’s Birthing Unit is underway, with work starting today on the $2.2 million redevelopment that will provide a more modern birthing space for local women and families.
