The $6.38 million Barwon Health surgery hub at University Hospital in Geelong was completed in November 2018. 

The surgery hub expansion and refurbishment included new waiting and recovery areas designed to provide a more comfortable stay for patients. It also delivered more modern theatre facilities designed to support increased capacity and quality of care. 

The project was part of a $93.2 million upgrade to the University Hospital Geelong. It was designed to make the experience of having surgery less stressful and more welcoming.

Construction of the $630 million Bendigo Hospital was completed in June 2018. The hospital is the largest regional infrastructure development in Victoria’s history.

The $200 million Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospital, on the Sunshine Hospital site, opened in May 2019 to meet the demand for world-class maternity and paediatric services in Melbourne’s west.

The $17.3 million Broadmeadows Hospital Surgery Centre project was completed in 2017. This project was designed to provide access to emergency and elective surgery to meet the growing health and wellbeing needs of the north west.

Upgrades included the addition of two new theatres. The on-site pharmacy and radiology services were also expanded and pathology collection was improved.

The Victorian Government invested $76.3 million in the Monash Medical Centre emergency department expansion and traffic improvement project.

The expansion delivered a new emergency department and a dedicated children’s emergency area. This area is designed to provide children with a private, calm and compassionate environment and to help meet increasing demand for paediatric emergency care.
