Care OpinionSydney and Sydney Eye Hospital is steeped in history, with a legacy of nursing and medical firsts to its credit and has paved the way in many clinical areas - both nationally and internationally.

Sydney Hospital is Australia's first hospital and dates from the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788.

Sydney Hospital has been located at the present site since 1811, with 2011 marking its milestone of 200 years on Macquarie Street.

The Sydney Eye Hospital started at Millers Point in 1882 and moved to Woolloomooloo in 1922.  In 1996 Sydney Eye Hospital was relocated from Sir John Young Crescent site to Macquarie Street to form The Sydney and Sydney Eye Hospital.

There is an eight-level car park under the hospital, accessed by Hospital Road, and managed by Metro Parking.
