Construction of the public wards (Ward Block 1) at the southern end of the site was completed in 1903-1905 and the Blood Bank building and isolation cottage were completed in 1916. Maitland Hospital was registered as a training hospital under the Nurses Registration Act, 1924 (Act No.37, 1924) in July 1926 and became a training school for general nurses. The Nurse's Quarters were completed in 1927 on what had previously been the site of the Royal Oak Hotel.
In the 1930s Ward Block 3 was built and extensions were completed to the nurses home in 1932 and 1937. The Addison Building (Ward Block 2) was progressively built and opened between 1942 and 1947. A new Nurses Home was completed in 1960 and a new pathology building was opened in 1973. From 1975 to 1979 a new boilerhouse and workshops were built and the kitchen, cafeteria and storage areas were refurbished.
