St Stephen's Hospital in Hervey Bay is Australia's first fully integrated digital hospital.

Since October 2014 when the hospital opened, Fraser Coast residents ​have access to one of the country’s most advanced healthcare facilities.

The new $96-million facility is the first fully-integrated digital hospital to be opened in regional Australia, and will transform the quality of healthcare available to the Fraser Coast’s growing population.

St Stephen’s Hospital provides a comprehensive range of inpatient medical services, as well day surgery.

Part of UnitingCare Health, St Stephen’s Hospital is a private healthcare provider owned by the Uniting Church, and is the only not-for-profit provider of private hospital services on the Fraser Coast. 

UnitingCare Health also includes The Wesley Hospital and St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital in Brisbane and ​Buderim Private Hospital on the Sunshine Coast and is therefore a significant provider of health care services in Queensland.  Collectively, over 4,100 people are currently employed by UnitingCare Health, with approximately 100,000 patients treated annually.

As a registered charity and not-for-profit facility, St Stephen’s is committed to re-investing surplus funds for the development of the hospital, its services and its employees. This benefits the community by creating facilities that utilise leading edge technology and staffed by leaders in their field.  

Our Motto, “Personal Care, Professional Approach”, employs compassion, care, honesty and integrity throughout every aspect of our care.

Hervey Bay Hospital provides a broad range of acute services to the Fraser Coast community.

The paediatric unit has been expanded from eight to 10 beds to meet the increasing demand for paediatric services. The refurbishment also included an enclosed play area, treatment and storage rooms, office and multipurpose rooms for family meetings.

Refurbishment of the renal unit has improved the accommodation for patients receiving dialysis at the hospital. The unit provides 10 stations for dialysis and an additional three stations for preparing those patients who will self-administer dialysis in their own home—currently 39 per cent of patient receiving dialysis are now home based.

Hospital in the Home was initially funded from the community dividend. Planning is underway to expand the service in the 2014-15 financial year to allow eligible patients to be treated in the home.

The patient transport service provides patient transfers between the Hervey Bay and Maryborough Hospitals—reducing reliance on the Queensland Ambulance Service for non-urgent diagnostic appointments.

Funding of $17.29 million has been allocated to the hospital for a new oral health facility and cancer care facility.
