Upgrades to the Broken Hill Health Service Emergency Department and Acute Mental Health Inpatient Unit are now complete.
In April 2022, the NSW Government announced the Broken Hill Health Service Redevelopment project. The project included a $12 million upgrade to the hospital’s Emergency Department (ED), to be reconfigured to better meet the critical health needs of the region and included tailored treatment spaces for children and those requiring mental health services.
The redevelopment also included an enhanced Acute Mental Health Inpatient Unit (MHIPU), delivered as part of the NSW Government’s Statewide Mental Health Infrastructure Program (SWMHIP). the new MHIPU is open, providing access to modern, purpose-built mental health facilities for the Far West community.
