$835 MILLION

The NSW Government has invested $835 million in the John Hunter Health and Innovation Precinct.

Our region is serviced by one major metropolitan hospital (John Hunter Hospital, Newcastle), over 300 general practices, and a variety of hospitals and medical centres supporting regional and rural communities. 

Additionally, the John Hunter Health and Innovation Precinct project will deliver an innovative and integrated precinct with purpose-built clinical trial facilities.
