At Central Coast Local Health District, our vision is simple and powerful: Trusted care. Better health for everyone.

Join a team where precision, teamwork, and patient recovery come together. Our Orthopaedic Inpatient Unit provides specialised post-operative care for patients undergoing joint replacements, trauma surgery, and complex fracture management.
