We're investing over $1 billion to build a bigger and better Logan Hospital. Our expansion program is one of the largest in Queensland and includes:

  • major upgrades to our hospital buildings and services
  • new buildings and parking
  • more beds and operating rooms
  • new medical, maternity and surgery wards
  • more health care services.

The upgrades will make it easier for our community to access health care. It will also help patients get treatment closer to home. Building started in 2020 and many of the upgrades have already opened. We expect all upgraded buildings and services to open by the end of 2027.

There may be changes to hospital entry points or parking when we're building. If you’re going to hospital, you can search our health services to check if there are any changes you need to know.

Why we’re expanding

Logan City is one of Queensland’s largest growth areas. In the next 15 years we expect:

  • our population to grow by 100,000 people
  • 110% increase in inpatient hospital admissions
  • 52% increase in emergency department admissions.

The Queensland Government has funded the Logan Hospital expansion to make sure we meet the needs of our community, now and in the future.

The upgrades are part of the Queensland Health and Hospitals Plan. We've planned them based on:

  • our medical and clinical health service needs
  • information about our population and expected growth
  • feedback and consultation with our patients and community
  • advice from builders, engineers and design experts
  • feedback from our staff, nurses, doctors and clinical experts.

Get involved

We're working with people and groups from our community to help plan the upgrades and get feedback including:

  • user groups where we co-designed clinical and public spaces with architects and clinicians
  • consultations about the look and design of the upgrades and wayfinding strategy
  • the hospital site’s building approval with local council
  • the look and design of our new multi level car park
  • training and work experience opportunities for local school students.

We also worked with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and Traditional Owners to make sure the upgrades are culturally safe.

We have 2 community groups involved in the upgrades:

  • Logan Maternity Advisory Group that helped us plan and design our upgraded maternity services
  • Arts, Culture and Environment Reference Group that provides feedback on how we should use art to create welcoming and beautiful spaces.
