The hospital has an Intensive Care Unit that incorporates High Dependency and Coronary Care beds and also provides Emergency Department services.

As well as these clinical services, the hospital has a busy Obstetric Unit, and also provides services for children under 16 years of age.


Shoalhaven Hospital is affiliated with the University of Wollongong, providing opportunities for teaching and research through the Graduate School of Medicine.
