Almost $57 million in upgrades and new infrastructure will be delivered at the North West Regional Hospital as part of the Tasmanian Government's 2025-26 Budget.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff said this year's Budget is building a better Tasmania: now, and for the Future.
"We are future-proofing health infrastructure across our State to ensure Tasmanians can access the right care, in the right place, at the right time," Premier Rockliff said.
"The North West Regional Hospital (NWRH) plays a critical role in delivering healthcare services to the community.
"We have a bold vision for the North West Regional Hospital, one that will serve north west Tasmanians for decades.
"The investment will deliver an expanded emergency department, a new ambulance drop-off, upgrades to the Acute Care Facility and of course more car parking, which we know is well needed.
"In addition to the upgrades at the NWRH, we are building a new $40 million Mental Health Precinct and the 2025-26 Budget secured funding for this vital project.
"Concept designs for the Precinct have been released and construction is expected to begin at the end of this year.
"The 2025-26 Budget is all about delivering on the things that matter for Tasmanians, including record investment in our health system.
"The Budget will demonstrate the Government's commitment to new and upgraded health infrastructure in every corner of the State."
