Queensland Health and Ambulance Services Minister Yvette D’Ath said: “This bed boost will create additional capacity by mid-2023, easing pressure on the emergency department and helping patients receive the care they need sooner.

“The Logan Hospital Expansion is one of the Queensland Government’s key job-creating initiatives and will support more than 2000 jobs during construction across all projects.”

Construction work on the locally manufactured, high-tech modular ward has already commenced and will take approximately six months to deliver.

Upon completion, the ward will be delivered and installed at the hospital.

This expansion project is anticipated to support over 95 jobs during the construction phase.

In early 2020, a similar 28-bed modular ward has been delivered at Logan Hospital.

Recently, two construction contracts were awarded for the $16.8m (A$25m) 28-bed ward and the $41.8m (A$62m) Stage 1 expansion of the Redland Hospital in Queensland, Australia.
