The $658 million Sydney Children’s Hospital Stage One and Minderoo Children’s Comprehensive Cancer Centre is now complete, marking a major milestone in transforming paediatric care for children and families across NSW.
The new 12-storey building will bring clinicians, researchers and educators together under one roof, and features the latest health facilities and dedicated spaces designed to support children and their families throughout their healthcare journey.
The project includes:
- A new and enhanced children’s intensive care unit
- A new children's emergency department
- Co-located laboratories to support the Minderoo Children’s Comprehensive Cancer Centre’s research, education and training
- A new medical short stay unit
- A new neurosciences centre
- A new virtual care centre and hospital command centre - KidsHQ
- Inpatient units for medical, surgical and sleep studies
- A day oncology centre and inpatient units, along with a dedicated bone marrow transplant unit
- A new children’s hospital pharmacy
- Improved family amenities, including single patient bedrooms with a carer bed and ensuite
- Indoor and outdoor recreational spaces for families to take a break from clinical settings
- Education, training and clinical simulation spaces
- New playground and pet visiting space.
In a first for Australia, childhood cancer research and the clinical care of children with cancer will integrate into one paediatric facility, accelerating the translation of research discovery into improved clinical practice.
The Centre will include advanced laboratory spaces and deliver integrated, specialist cancer treatment, education and research programs, with the aim to transform childhood cancer treatment and become one of the world’s leading paediatric cancer centres.
The new building will welcome patients and their families from late 2025, following an operational commissioning period.
Almost 1.95 million construction hours have been worked throughout the life of the project, which will also enable a pipeline for 500 roles within paediatrics across the Randwick Health and Innovation Precinct.
This milestone is part of the more than $1.5 billion investment from the NSW Government towards the Randwick Health and Innovation Precinct.
