- 32 inpatient beds
- four operating theatres

Benefits
The Angliss Hospital expansion has delivered the following benefits:
New and modern facilities
The expansion has upgraded hospital infrastructure and provides new, modern facilities for patients, visitors and staff.
This builds on other investments in the Angliss Hospital, including the $20 million Angliss Hospital new intensive care unit and short stay unit project that was completed in October 2018.
Meet growing and changing needs
The region served by Eastern Health is projected to grow to over 900,000 people by 2036, with one in five being 65 years of age or older. Increased capacity at the Angliss Hospital will help to meet the current and projected demand for health care services in Melbourne’s outer east.

Construction jobs
More than 1,300 workers contributed to the project since construction began in February 2024.
Partners
This project was delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority in partnership with:
- Eastern Health
