QEII Jubilee Hospital History: 2021

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 projects

The QEII Hospital Expansion Program will be delivered as a series of projects.

• Modular accommodation for administration and library
• QEII Hospital Car Parking Plan
• Capacity Expansion Program to deliver a range of service increases at QEII Hospital which will include a growth of 112 overnight beds to help meet the growing demand for health services on Brisbane’s southside.

• The project is currently in design phase.

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.
