Services

The new hospital has been designed with tamariki, rangatahi and their whānau at it’s heart. With 50 inpatient beds, the new 7500 square-metre building alongside the main Wellington Regional Hospital campus, is spread across three floors.

For the very first time, a full range of paediatric services is brought together under one roof.  As well as inpatient medical and surgical wards, Te Wao Nui includes outpatient children’s clinics and speciality services, as well as Allied Health and Child Development Service clinics.  This allows for much easier collaboration across different paediatric specialities for those children with complex or multidisciplinary needs.

There is no emergency service at Te Wao Nui. In an emergency please go to the main hospital Emergency Department.
