Meeting future demand for healthcare


Meeting future demand for healthcare

patient care

Canberra is growing, the population of the Territory and surrounding region is forecast to increase from under 412,000 people in 2017 to more than 530,000 people in 2032. In time, this will place significant strain on critical services at the Canberra Hospital.

With additional intensive care and emergency department treatment spaces, as well as increased medical imaging capability and more operating theatres, the expansion of the Canberra Hospital aims to accommodate demand now and into the future.
