Clinical Services Building at Griffith Base Hospital nears completion

The new Clinical Services Building, the centrepiece of the $250 million Griffith Base Hospital Redevelopment, is nearing completion.  

Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park toured the new hospital’s Clinical Services Building, which will provide contemporary, high-quality healthcare under the one roof. 

All major health services at the Griffith Base Hospital will be housed in the purpose-built  3-storey Clinical Services Building. 

  The new building will include: 

• An expanded Emergency Department 

• Two operating theatres, and an additional procedure room in the perioperative suite 

• A new and expanded Intensive Care Unit 

• Expanded medical imaging services and pharmacy services 

• Maternity, birthing and paediatric services 

• Surgical and medical wards with four new mental health inpatient beds to care for people over 16 years of age with low complexity mental health conditions who require a short stay admission 

• New aged care and rehabilitation beds 

• Three palliative care rooms, a family lounge and an outdoor terrace within the medical inpatient unit to provide end of life care for patients 

• An expansion of the ambulatory care space for the community to access more specialist clinics including renal, oncology, hospital in the home, and expanded outpatient services. 

The Clinical Services Building is on track to be completed in the coming months, and will be followed by an operational commissioning period before health services and transferred into the new facility. It is expected to open in early 2025.  

Once the new hospital opens, work will focus on carpark construction, refurbishment of the Ambulatory Care Hub and landscaping of the health campus.
