Welcome to the Mackay Base Hospital Redevelopment
The redeveloped Mackay Base Hospital will offer the local and regional community a wider range of health services.
The $405 million state-of-the-art redevelopment will occur in three stages and increase the number of beds from 163 to 318.
The redeveloped hospital will provide more operating theatres, a dedicated coronary care unit, a larger intensive care unit, increased mental health services, a larger dialysis unit and a staff skill centre.
There will be a new acute care hospital building with new emergency department, together with expansion of renal support services, day oncology, dental services, birthing and delivery suites, special care nursery (neonatal) and day surgery suites.
The redevelopment will future-proof the hospital and allow for further expansion to meet future demand.
The redevelopment is part of a major network of hospital infrastructure developments to meet the future health care needs of North Queensland.
Construction is expected to begin at the end of 2009 and be complete by the end of 2013.
The improved Mackay Base Hospital will significantly expand health services in the Mackay region and deliver long-lasting benefits to the local community.
