Update: 2025-12-15
Description
Queenslands Hospital Rescue Plan: A $18.53 Billion Initiative to Boost Healthcare SystemThe Queensland government has announced a comprehensive plan to enhance its healthcare system, investing $18.53 billion to add 2,600 new hospital beds over the next five years. This initiative, known as the Hospital Rescue Plan, addresses previous budget overruns and delays by offering realistic deadlines and timeframes for construction. Key projects include 93 new beds at Princess Alexandra Hospital, 210 at Redcliffe Hospital, and 112 each at Logan and QEII Hospitals, all expected by 2028. The new Coomera Hospital, with 400 beds and expanded services, will begin construction next year and be ready by 2031, with an additional 200 beds following in 2032. This plan comes as the state continues discussions with the federal government on hospital funding, with Queensland recently declining a federal offer due to inadequate funding for aged care and disability services.
