In addition, the hospital has a fascinating history, and enjoys the distinction of being Australia’s oldest hospital. The hospital traces its beginnings to the arrival of the first fleet in 1788, when a tent hospital was erected near the Rocks.
Now located in historic Macquarie Street between Parliament House, the Mint and the Domain, the original Sydney Hospital was built in 1816. A new hospital was constructed at the site in 1894 and it is this series of magnificent buildings that dominate the site today.
