Project
The NSW Government is investing $835 million to redevelop the John Hunter and John Hunter Children’s Hospitals.
The $835 million John Hunter Health and Innovation Precinct will increase the overall capacity of the redeveloped Hospital to continue to provide essential healthcare services to Newcastle, the greater Hunter region and northern NSW communities.
The new acute services building will deliver:
- deliver enhanced and expanded facilities with a new 7-storey acute services building.
- deliver a new Emergency Department to meet a projected future demand of over 95,000 presentations each year.
- double the capacity of the Intensive Care Unit and provide capacity for future expansion.
- provide 22 operating theatres and 9 interventional suites to respond to significantly increasing demand.
- deliver five procedure rooms for endoscopy and minor procedures.
- provide purpose-built flexible education space co-located within clinical services.
