A new $44 million sub-acute private hospital in Kingswood has welcomed its first patients from the Penrith community in Western Sydney.
The Matilda Nepean facility has 90 beds and includes urgently needed mental health inpatient beds as well as rehabilitation, ambulatory care, hydrotherapy, geriatrics and palliative care services. A comprehensive wellness program is also available, which includes Matilda Nepean’s signature gym and hydrotherapy programs.
Formally opened by Melissa McIntosh MP, Member for Lindsay, and the Hon Stuart Ayres MP, Member for Penrith, Matilda Nepean is located in Kingswood’s health and education precinct opposite Nepean Hospital, creating opportunities for integrated healthcare services and allowing clinicians to seamlessly treat public and private patients across multiple world-class facilities.
The hospital is owned by investors in Australian Unity’s $3.7 billion Healthcare Property Trust and leased to operator Matilda Health Care under a 30-year lease. Construction of the hospital commenced in April 2021.
Australian Unity’s Healthcare Property Trust also owns several parcels of land opposite Matilda Nepean, totalling 3565 square metres. In the long term, further development stages may expand the hospital’s facilities and capabilities to grow with the needs of Western Sydney.
Dr Harry Pannu, Managing Director of Matilda Health Care, said Matilda Nepean will play a vital role in meeting Western Sydney’s evolving health needs.
“With mental health conditions rising and the population of older Western Sydney residents set to grow 166% by 2036, there is clear demand for centrally located, high-quality treatment options.
Matilda’s clinician-led approach means “the highest quality of care is embedded into every aspect of the patient journey, from our inpatient therapy sessions and day programs to the hospital’s boutique, hotel-like setting”, Pannu said.
Chris Smith, General Manager of Healthcare Property, Australian Unity, said, “We are also excited about the longer-term opportunity to work with Matilda in expanding the hospital’s facilities and capabilities across our adjacent parcels of land, adding additional beds, services and facilities to grow with Western Sydney. This is something investors, tenants and patients in the western suburbs can look forward to,” he said.
