The Tomaree Community Hospital provides quality care to people living in Nelson Bay and surrounding areas. When it opened in 1988, the community hospital had 12 beds. Following a community-funded refurbishment in 1996, it now has an additional two single bed ensuite rooms primarily for palliative care patients.

• palliative care
• respite care for the aged, young and disabled (Monday to Friday)
