• DesignInc - architects for relocation works

About the Ballarat Base Hospital redevelopment

Once complete, the expansion of the Ballarat Base Hospital will deliver:

• a new emergency department
• a women and children’s hub
• state-of-the-art theatre suite
• an extra 100 inpatient and short stay beds.

The hospital will also include a new and expanded critical care floor. This will bring together operating theatres, procedure rooms, an expanded intensive care unit, endoscopy suites and consulting rooms.

The redeveloped hospital will deliver capacity for an extra 4,000 surgeries. It will also have capacity to treat at least 18,000 more emergency patients, and an extra 14,500 inpatients, each year.

The project will create more than 1,400 construction jobs and be completed over multiple stages. Construction is expected to be completed in 2027.
