Capital Works or Recent Improvements:
Gold Coast University Hospital In 2012, Gold Coast Hospital will be absorbed into a new 750 bed tertiary facility to create the Gold Coast University Hospital. The $1.55 billion health facility will provide complex care, research and teaching opportunities on the Gold Coast and will play a key role in training the clinical leaders of the future. See http://www.health.qld.gov.au/gcuhospital for further information. Robina Hospital An additional $287.7 million has been pledged to enable further expansions at Robina Hospital including the addition of 179 beds and the development of a $26 million community health precinct by 2010. Gold Coast Health Service District The Gold Coast Health Service District provides health care from the state border of NSW to the Coomera region in Queensland and is rapidly expanding to meet the growing population needs. Carrara Health Centre, a $14.5 million interim care and rehabilitation facility, and the Gold Coast Surgery Centre, a dedicated day surgery facility, have been introduced to the District to complement current facilities and help manage service demand. Medical, nursing, clinical and non-clinical support staff, along with volunteers, work together to deliver quality care and service to the community. |
