26 bed Ward 5A opens
In June 2022, we opened a $21 million new 26-bed medical inpatient ward, delivering an important boost to the hospital’s capacity. The additional new beds has helped cater for the growing demand for health services on Brisbane’s southside.
The first patient admitted to QEII Hospital’s new beds in Ward 5A was 90 year-old, Eric Hislop from Springwood on Tuesday 21 June 2022.
QEII Hospital Expansion Program
The QEII Hospital Expansion Program has increased available beds with the expansion of Ward 5A and 4A to assist with demand in the growing region, allowing the local community to be treated closer to home.
Over the coming years, QEII Hospital will see the benefit of several other projects including the Capacity Expansion Program designed to increase services, improve functionality of existing facilities and make the environment more contemporary and comfortable for patients, visitors, and staff.
A traditional Yagara blessing for the construction works of the QEII Hospital Expansion Program was held on 5 August 2024 as the hospital and the community forge ahead to grow a healthier community together
The QEII Hospital Expansion Program will be delivered as a series of projects.
The project is currently in design phase.
28 bed Ward 4A opens
In November 2023, we opened our new $25 million specialist medical ward that helped us quickly increase our capacity and provide more patient beds as part of the Queensland Government’s Accelerated Infrastructure Delivery Program (AIDP). The project has delivered a new 28 bed Ward 4A to manage emergency admissions for general medical patients. It ensures QEII has extra capacity to manage the growing demand for general medical services in the Metro South region.
The first patient admitted to QEII Hospital’s new beds in Ward 4A was 93-year-old, Dawn Campbell from Carindale on Monday 27 November 2023.
