Bowral & District Hospital has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a six- bed cottage hospital opened in 1889.

Today Bowral is a major rural hospital providing a wide range of services including general medical, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatric, surgical, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, geriatric and emergency services.

In 2012/13 the Hospital delivered 450 babies, undertook more than 2,700 surgeries and treated more than 17,000 patients in its emergency department.

In 2012/13, the Hospital completed the refurbishment of the old hospital which has allowed for a more effective use of clinic and public meeting spaces.

The Hospital recently opened a GP clinic in partnership with the Tharawal Aboriginal Corporation and a new outpatient clinic.
