Project overview

Status: Planning Have your say

The Albury Wodonga Regional Hospital project will deliver a major new regional hospital and improved health services for the Albury, Wodonga and border communities. The project will deliver a substantial new hospital building at the existing Albury Hospital campus and upgrades to existing facilities to support the hospital expansion.

Once complete, the new hospital will bring many services together at one location to improve patient safety, reduce the duplication of services and travel between the Wodonga Hospital and Albury Hospital sites, and increase the capability and responsiveness of the health service to meet the future health care needs of the community.

The NSW and Victorian Governments have each committed $225 million toward the redevelopment of the Albury Wodonga Regional Hospital project, in addition to the $108 million already committed by the NSW and Australian governments, bringing the total investment commitment to $558 million.

Planning and consultation

The Albury Wodonga Regional Hospital project is currently in the planning phase.

Ongoing consultation with a broad range of stakeholders and the community is essential to the hospital planning, design and delivery process and will continue throughout the remainder of the project.

The feedback received from key stakeholders including staff and clinicians from Albury Wodonga Health, NSW and Victoria government agencies, the local Aboriginal community, a dedicated Project Community Advisory Group and the Border communities, continues to feed into the next stage of the project, schematic design, to further improve the hospital experience for visitors and patients.
