The Macarthur community is taking its first look at the inside of the major redevelopment, which is on track to deliver first-class health services to the region.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian joined Health Minister Brad Hazzard to unveil the new designs recently, as well as inspect the start of construction on the hospital’s $34M multi-storey car park.
“The Campbelltown region will, for the first time, have the most modern and exciting health facilities that this community deserves,” Ms Berejiklian said.
“We are building this hospital with the future in mind - more modern wards, more treatment spaces and world-class medical and surgical services.”
Mr Hazzard said Stage 2 of the redevelopment would include a new clinical services building that was five times bigger than the existing one.
Once completed, the hospital will become a tertiary facility which means more complex surgeries and conditions can be managed closer to home.
Stage 2 of Campbelltown Hospital’s redevelopment will include:
- A new clinical services building with modern wards and patient facilities.
- A bigger emergency department with more treatment spaces.
- Enhanced medical and surgical children’s services.
- Modern centrally-located mental health units.
- State-of-the-art operating theatres and intensive care unit.
- New women’s health services, including birthing suites and maternity ward;
- Increased access to cancer, outpatient and ambulatory care services; and
- New nuclear medicine and dental services.
Construction on the main hospital building is expected to start in 2019.
