Overview

The Hospital Rescue Plan will deliver more than 2,600 new beds alongside more investment in a bigger health workforce.

This pipeline gives certainty to industry, health professionals, communities and, most importantly, Queenslanders.

We are embarking on the Hospital Rescue Plan to deliver modern, world-class facilities across the State and to support patient flow and alleviate elective surgery waitlists.

This pipeline gives clinicians the tools and resources they need to do their job, while giving Queenslanders the health services they need by increasing capacity and expanding services at hospitals right across the State.

Redcliffe Hospital Expansion

Redcliffe Hospital is located in the fast-growing Moreton Bay region, home to over half a million Queenslanders. Our hospital expansion project at Redcliffe is essential for the people of Moreton Bay to ensure they can access care easier, move off surgery waiting lists faster, and have a healthcare system they can rely on.

At least 210 new overnight beds

New Toowoomba Hospital

As more people are choosing to call Toowoomba and the Darling Downs home, our new Toowoomba Hospital will ensure every Queenslander has access to care, closer to where they live. The new Toowoomba Hospital will be the main referral hospital for the Darling Downs region and will provide a much-needed boost to bed capacity alongside emergency and specialised care.

At least 538 total overnight beds, including at least 118 new beds

New Coomera Hospital

Experts from the Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service identified the greatest priority for the region to be increasing capacity and bolstering services at the Coomera site, rather than fragmenting services across different facilities, as was the case under the previous plan. It’s why the Queensland Government will deliver an uplift of 50% to deliver 600 more beds at the new Coomera Hospital.

At least 600 new overnight beds

Townsville University Hospital Expansion

Each year, it treats hundreds of thousands of Queenslanders in acute, outpatient, community, and aged care settings with focus on quality, safety, and compassion.

New Bundaberg Hospital

With a growing and ageing population, the new Bundaberg Hospital is an essential project to make sure Queenslanders living in our regions have easier access to specialised health services.
