Why is this project important?

The Angliss Hospital expansion will deliver significant improvements to our clinical environment, ensuring Eastern Health can continue to meet the needs of its community.

Highlights of the expansion include the construction of a fourth level above the main hospital building which will increase the capacity of the hospital’s critical care services.

The project will deliver a new Intensive Care Unit. It will also include an expanded short stay unit for the hospital that will provide care for patients who require a stay of up to 24 hours.

In addition, the paediatric emergency and short stay area will also be refurbished, with the number of existing paediatric short stay beds set to double.

A refurbishment of the hospital’s courtyard will also be completed.

When will the hospital expansion be completed?

The complete project, including the new ICU, opened in October 2018.

What will the project mean for healthcare in the region?

The hospital expansion will provide a welcome boost to healthcare in Melbourne’s outer east.

It will play an important role in ensuring Eastern Health can continue to meet the needs of its community.

Are there employment opportunities available with the Angliss expansion?

We are continuing to recruit for nursing roles at the Angliss ICU. Whether you are looking to take the next step in your career or are looking to work closer to home, we encourage people who are interested in working in an exciting environment to apply. Click here for further details.

Eastern Health is grateful for the efforts of its project partners in the Department of Health and Human Services, consultants and architect Silver Thomas Hanley and builders Kane Constructions for their work and support of this project.

Short stay and paediatric facilities on Angliss expansion agenda

2 March 2018

Expansion works are continuing at Angliss Hospital.

The construction team have been busy with stage two of the project, which includes an expansion of short stay and paediatric facilities.

Refurbishment works on part of the courtyard have also been completed.

Last year, stage one of the project was completed, which included a new fourth floor at the hospital.

Eastern Health Executive Director of Information, Technology and Capital Projects Zoltan Kokai thanked staff, patients and the community for their patience while works were completed.

“We are grateful to everyone for their support in helping us deliver a better hospital.”

The project is due for completion in mid-2018.
