A little about us.
David Berry Hospital, located on Dharawal Country in the township of Berry, has proudly served the community since 1909, providing essential sub-acute rehabilitation and specialist palliative care. However, due to its 115-year-old infrastructure, it is transitioning its services to Shoalhaven Hospital, the main acute care facility for the region. These services will continue at David Berry Hospital until the completion of the redeveloped Shoalhaven Memorial Hospital in 2026.
Shoalhaven Memorial Hospital, situated on Yuin Country, offers a wide range of medical services, including emergency care, surgical and orthopaedic services, and has recently undergone significant redevelopment. This is an exciting time to join our progressive and growing team in the Shoalhaven region, with strong opportunities for career development.
