About us
Macquarie University Hospital is Australia’s first and only private not-for-profit teaching hospital on a university campus. Located on the leafy grounds of Macquarie University, we are owned and operated by this leading tertiary institution. As part of Macquarie University Health Sciences Centre (MQ Health) and modelled on renowned international university hospitals, our approach to treatment is based on combining the best available knowledge and expertise to ensure patients receive a comprehensive and integrated service, as well as the utmost compassion, support and care. As well as featuring the very latest technology, much of it unavailable anywhere else in the country, our stunning 183 bed facility incorporates the very latest design principles, as we recognise the therapeutic role the healthcare environment plays on our patients, visitors and staff. We are conveniently located at the heart of a large and integrated medical precinct. Collocated next to the Macquarie University Clinic, and the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences this integrated network means that patients benefit from the collaboration of specialists and researchers. Patients also benefit from the convenience of traveling to one location for all their treatment. Although we have some of the most ground breaking medical equipment onsite, we are as accessible and affordable as any other private healthcare facility in the country. As an academic hospital, our health professionals are committed to a culture of continuous improvement through teaching and research. To bring the best outcomes to our patients, Macquarie University Hospital follows three simply stated aims: to heal, to learn, to discover.
