Getting there

Hospital upgrade

Upgrades to the Broken Hill Health Service Emergency Department and Acute Mental Health Inpatient Unit are coming soon.

In April 2022, the NSW Government announced the Broken Hill Health Service Redevelopment project. The project includes a $10 million upgrade to the hospital’s Emergency Department (ED), which will be reconfigured to better meet the critical health needs of the region and includes tailored treatment spaces for children and those requiring mental health services.

The redevelopment also includes an enhanced Acute Mental Health Inpatient Unit (MHIPU), which is being delivered as part of the NSW Government’s Statewide Mental Health Infrastructure Program (SWMHIP). Once complete, the upgraded mental health and inpatient unit facilities will provide a modern and contemporary therapeutic space with co-designed facilities for people with mental health needs, their families, carers and staff.

For more information about the Broken Hill Health Service Redevelopment, please visit the NSW Health Infrastructure website at Broken Hill Emergency Department - Health Infrastructure NSW.

You can contact the project team at HI-BrokenHillRedev@health.nsw.gov.au or (02) 8838 8889.
