The health and wellbeing sector is the Sunshine Coast’s largest employer, providing an estimated 24,992 jobs (AEC Group 2018).
There are almost 2,000 healthcare related businesses registered on the Sunshine Coast, providing the foundation for a dynamic and fast-growing sector (ABS, 2018).
Over A$2 billion has recently been invested in healthcare infrastructure across the Sunshine Coast Health Precinct, including the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Sunshine Coast Health Institute as well as a private hospital.
Strong population growth including another 198,000 new residents expected by 2041 will drive demand for health and wellbeing services.
The 17 hectare Health Hub adjacent to the Sunshine Coast Health Precinct is a greenfield health and medical precinct providing multiple investment opportunities for specialist and ancillary health businesses.
