Construction of the $110.2 million Cowra Hospital Redevelopment is now complete, marking a major milestone in the delivery of new and enhanced healthcare services to Cowra and surrounding communities.
The Cowra Hospital Redevelopment will provide modern, enhanced and purpose-built health facilities to meet the health needs of the community, both now and into the future.
The new hospital is expected to open in late 2025 after operational commissioning is complete, to ensure the new building and staff are well prepared and ready to welcome patients.
The $110.2 million project includes:
- an Emergency Department
- a general medical and surgery inpatient ward
- a perioperative service
- a maternity unit with a dedicated nursery
- ambulatory care
- a dental clinic
- renal dialysis
- oncology
- community health and mental health, drug and alcohol services
- the hospital's first CT scanner.
The project has already provided a significant boost to the local economy during construction, supporting regional employment, and creating opportunities for local trades and suppliers in the region. More than 25 local trades have been engaged in the surrounding region.
Ahead of the opening, residents are being invited to tour the Cowra Hospital Redevelopment, as part of a community open day offering locals a first look at the new facilities and services.
Members of the project team will be available to answer questions about the Redevelopment, with site tours taking place every 15 minutes on Saturday 29 November 2025 between 11.00am-3.00pm.
Places for the site tours are limited, and registration is essential. Registrations are now open and will close at 5.00pm on Thursday 27 November 2025. For more information and to register for the community open day, visit: www.nsw.gov.au/cowra-hospital-redevelopment
