The health system in the Metro South region – like many across the nation and the world – is facing greater demand and pressure than ever before.

It’s important that our growing and ageing population continues to have access to quality healthcare services and facilities.

In line with the Queensland Hospitals and Health Plan, we’re committed to ensuring Metro South residents can access quality care, closer to home – which is why we’re planning for the future.

Below are just a few of our infrastructure projects currently underway or recently completed, to deliver better healthcare for you.

New 28-bed modular medical ward

A new 28-bed medical ward for Logan Hospital is now under construction as part of a rapid expansion project.

It is a modular building, meaning it is being constructed offsite and in early 2023 will be delivered and installed on the hospital site. This will allow us to commission a fully equipped ward in about six months—helping to ease existing pressure on the hospital and improve patient flow through the emergency department.
