Manly Hospital was a medical facility located in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney, Australia. It was managed by the Northern Sydney Local Health District. Established in 1896, the hospital provided healthcare services to the community until its closure in 2018.

History

Manly Hospital was founded in 1896 through fundraising efforts led by William Horner Fletcher and with a government subsidy. Originally known as the Manly Cottage Hospital, it was later renamed the Manly District Hospital in 1929.

Closure and Future

In May 2013, the State Government of New South Wales announced the construction of the Northern Beaches Hospital in Frenchs Forest. Upon its completion in 2018, the Northern Beaches Hospital became the primary healthcare facility for the Northern Beaches region, leading to the closure of Manly Hospital on October 30, 2018.

In 2018, a proposal was made to build Australia's first hospice for young adults on the site of the former Manly Hospital. Public consultation on the future of the site concluded in October 2020, and a planning proposal was submitted to the council.
