Agreement Reached for Northern Beaches Hospital Transition
The Northern Beaches Hospital is set to transition to public ownership, with an in-principle agreement reached for a $190 million payment.
This milestone marks the final phase in the Minns Labor Government's plan to rectify one of NSW's worst privatisation experiments, while minimising taxpayer impact.
- Months of negotiations between the NSW Government, Healthscope, and its receivers led to the agreement.
- The hospital will move to the direct control of the Northern Sydney Local Health District by mid-2026.
The Minns Labor Government will now finalise the transfer arrangements, including workforce transition and consulting clinicians on future clinical services.
