- 443 Extra Nurses

- 160 Allied Health Professionals
We know there is still much more to do, but we are making progress to rebuild the health system and give you and your family the best possible care.
Construction on the $411 million St George Hospital upgrade is now complete.
The new 9-storey Kensington Street Building will bring more health services under one roof and allow our nurses, doctors and healthcare staff to deliver better care, faster.
New and expanded services include three levels of inpatient beds, expanded ambulatory services, new operating theatres, surgical centres and palliative care.
After 12 years of the Liberal National Government neglecting our health system and attempting to privatise health services and hospitals, we’re getting on with the job of delivering better health services in our community.
We’re also delivering more health workers including 24 additional nurses at St George Hospital to deliver better care.
This is all part of our plan to deliver better hospitals, more beds and better health services to ensure patients and their families receive the care they need, when they need it.
Construction Underway on $350 Million Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment
Work on the Canterbury Hospital Redevelopment has now commenced, bringing new and expanded health services one step closer for the local community.
We’re investing $350 million in this redevelopment to deliver the largest upgrade to Canterbury Hospital in more than 26 years.
The final scoping of the redevelopment is expected to include;
- Expanded Intensive Care Unit
- Purpose-built in-patient accommodation
- Expanded and enhanced emergency department
- More surgical theatres
- Further ambulatory and outpatient care capacity
This is an exciting milestone for the community, as this redevelopment will transform the way we can deliver care for patients at this hospital.
These works mean we are one step closer to delivering a modern hospital that will meet the needs of our growing community for generations to come.
