About our redevelopment
The $250 million Griffith Base Hospital redevelopment will deliver Griffith and the surrounding communities with state-of-the art health facilities and enhanced health services closer to home.

All major health services at the Griffith Base Hospital will be housed under one roof, in the purpose-built three storey Clinical Services Building designed to support contemporary models of care.
 
Other works as part of the redevelopment include the Non Clinical Services Building, demolition of old hospital buildings, landscaping and car parking.

The Redevelopment is scheduled for completion in 2025.
