Our Hospital: Our Redevelopment

Our Redevelopment

Joondalup Health Campus is expanding as part of a $393m redevelopment program which is delivering extensive new facilities for public and private patients.

Construction started in September 2009 and is set to finish in early 2013 – months ahead of schedule. The redevelopment is tracking under budget thanks to expert management by Ramsay Health Care and our construction partners John Holland Group. The savings are funding additional new facilities such as the expanded Special Care Nursery.

The State Government is investing $229.8m to deliver:

• Additional public beds – up from 280 to 451 in 2013
• New Emergency Department (opened in February 2011)
• Expanded Special Care Nursery (opened August 2011)
• St John Ambulance depot (opened in 2011)
• 12 new operating theatres replacing the existing six (2012)
• Expanded critical care unit (2012)
• Child care centre (2013)
• Significant new plant and equipment
• Additional car parks for patients, visitors and staff

Ramsay Health Care is investing over $150m to deliver:

• Cardiac vascular catheter laboratory (2012)
• 145-bed private hospital (2013)
• Additional specialist medical centre (2013)

In addition, a new Community Clinical School will open in 2013 as part of a unique partnership between Ramsay Health Care, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, the University of Western Australia and the Federal Government.                                                        

When complete in 2013, the expanded campus will be twice its size in 2009. There will be over 650 beds across both public and private hospitals. The total number of people employed by JHC will have increased by 40 per cent to over 2,800 making JHC one of the biggest employers in the northern suburbs.
