• a new intensive care unit with modern technology to support the hospital’s sickest patients
• a new medical equipment Central Sterile Services Department – helping deliver more surgeries, sooner.

As one of Victoria’s busiest hospitals, the project will futureproof care in the south east for generations to come.

The project is expected to create more than 1,500 construction jobs and support additional medical jobs once open.

Construction is expected to be complete in 2029.
