The facility will be staffed by a team of over 100 comprising doctors, nurses, operational staff, allied health practitioners, and administration officers.

Minister for Health, Mental Health, and Ambulance Services Shannon Fentiman: “Queenslanders deserve the best health care, no matter where the live, and this facility will take pressure off the Redland’s Hospital and emergency department.

“The Redland Hospital Modular Expansion project is well underway and will add 28 new acute inpatient beds to the region, further reducing the pressures we’ve been seeing across the state.”

This project forms part of the Government of Queensland’s A$377m ($241.47m) Satellite Hospital Program, which aims to deliver seven healthcare facilities in South East Queensland’s growing communities.

Later this year and next year, similar facilities are planned to launch in Bribie Island, Eight Mile Plains, Kallangur, Ripley, and Tugun.
