Angliss Hospital expansion

Location 39 Albert Street, Upper Ferntree Gully, Victoria, 3156, Australia

The Victorian Government has delivered the $112 million Angliss Hospital expansion in Upper Ferntree Gully, giving families in Melbourne’s outer east access to bigger, better health services closer to home.

The expanded hospital includes a new multi-storey building with a 32-bed inpatient unit, four operating theatres, a new central sterile supply department, spaces for outpatient services and more car parking.

The expansion increases Angliss Hospital’s capacity to provide more surgeries and modern care in contemporary facilities, helping meet growing demand across the Knox and Yarra Ranges communities.

Main works were completed in June 2026 and the expansion opened to patients in July 2026.

OPERATING THEATRES

The Angliss Hospital expansion has delivered:

  • a new multi-storey building
  • 32 inpatient beds
  • four operating theatres
  • central sterile supply department
  • outpatient and allied health capabilities
  • more carparking spaces.

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. 

More surgeries

The expanded Angliss Hospital provides increased surgical, inpatient and outpatient capacity, helping deliver more overnight and same-day surgical and outpatient care.

Construction jobs

More than 1,300 workers contributed to the project since construction began in February 2024.

This project was delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority in partnership with:

  • Eastern Health
  • Silver Thomas Hanley (architect)
  • SJ Higgins (early works)
  • Kane Constructions (main works).
