July 6th, 2026Bigger, Better Angliss Hospital: Delivered
The state government’s newly expanded $112 million Angliss Hospital opens next Wednesday, 15 July.
It will bring care closer to home and make life easier for families in Melbourne’s outer eastern suburbs.
The Premier and Minister for Health today toured the redeveloped hospital as staff prepare to welcome patients.
The new four-storey building includes:
- Four operating theatres to support more overnight and same-day surgeries
- A new 32-bed inpatient unit
- Spaces for outpatient services
- Capacity to treat an additional 1,300 patients each year.
As the local population grows to more than 900,000 by 2036, it will help to meet current and future demand.
This includes taking pressure off emergency departments and inpatient wards across Eastern Health services.
It will also create 49 new full-time equivalent jobs for the hospital’s dedicated health workforce.
This year’s Victorian Budget 2026/27 invested $44.8 million to open the expanded hospital in Ferntree Gully.
The completion of the new Angliss Hospital means the government has now built 12 new public hospitals.
