Our History

Royal Rehab was a training school for enrolled nurses from the 1960s to the 1990s. Graduate nurses have led the development of rehabilitation nursing research in Australia.
Coorabel opened on 5 August, providing rehabilitation for 114 non-acute individuals and improving community hospital services. The facility expanded allied services, encompassing professionals promoting a healthy lifestyle and independence in physical, psychological, cognitive, and social aspects.
Following the increased focus on rehabilitation and the return of injured and disabled people to the community and workforce, the name was changed to Royal Ryde Rehabilitation Hospital.
Senior specialist in rehabilitation medicine, Dr Robert ‘Bob’ Oakeshott AM was successful in establishing Royal Ryde Rehabilitation Hospital as a centre of postgraduate medical education.
The name was changed to Royal Rehabilitation Centre Sydney to overcome longstanding confusion with other hospitals in the area.
On 18 October 1991 a new and exciting chapter for Royal Rehab began with the turning of the first sod for the construction of the new facilities
Royal Rehab Private Hospital opened on 29 November to continue inpatient and day patient intensive rehabilitation programs for people recovering from surgery, trauma or illness.
19th February marked the beginning of brand new facilities with the opening of the comprehensively equipped and technologically advanced 16-bed Brian Injury Unit and 20-bed Spinal Injury Unit.
