Hospital expansion poised to begin operating

Eight years after Labor’s election promise in 2016, Canberra Hospital’s Critical Services Building will open on August 17. 

It will include a bigger emergency department, more operating theatres and an expanded Intensive Care Unit.

With the new main entry and reception of Canberra Hospital open to the public, and sterilising services already operating in the building, the clinical services that will be brought together include:

  • Emergency Department
  • Intensive Care Unit
  • Operating theatres and day surgery admission
  • Inpatient cardiology services and cardiac catheterisation labs
  • Medical and surgical inpatient units
  • Medical imaging
  • Helipad
