Residents of Griffith and surrounding communities are being invited to be among the first to tour the new $250 million Griffith Base Hospital redevelopment at a Community Open Day on Saturday, 14 June 2025.
With construction of the new hospital now complete, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the new Clinical Services Building, the centrepiece of the redevelopment, and tour key areas including the expanded emergency department, maternity and medical inpatient unit, and specialist clinics.
The Griffith Base Hospital redevelopment will provide new and enhanced services including a new day surgery unit, expanded medical imaging department, more inpatient beds, mobile cardiac monitoring units and improved technology throughout the hospital.
The hospital also includes an expanded emergency department and intensive care unit, three palliative care rooms, and expanded perioperative unit featuring two theatres and one procedure room, equipped with the latest digital technology.
Expanded ambulatory care facilities will provide the community with improved access to a wider range of specialist clinics, including renal, cancer care, rehabilitation, and Hospital in the Home, further enhancing outpatient services.
Work is now underway to ensure the new building and staff are prepared and ready to welcome patients, ahead of its opening. This includes installing furniture, fixtures, and equipment, completing clinical cleaning, stocking departments with medical consumables, and training and orientating staff.
The Griffith Base Hospital's opening date will be announced in the coming weeks.
