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.

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.

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