Warrnambool Base Hospital Redevelopment

The Victorian Government is investing $384.2 million to deliver the Warrnambool Base Hospital redevelopment.

A new multi-storey hospital tower will deliver a bigger emergency department, more operating theatres, an extra 22 inpatient beds and dedicated areas for pathology services and dialysis.

With more families choosing to make Warrnambool home, a dedicated paediatric unit will provide specialised care to children and young people.

A new offsite Regional Logistics Distribution Centre (RLDC) will provide commercial linen services and a modern healthcare supply and logistics warehouse. This will free up space at the hospital for the new multi-storey tower.

The redevelopment will transform services at the hospital, giving Victoria's south-west community access to world-class healthcare facilities, close to home.

Stage One: Regional Logistics Distribution Centre

Status: In Progress 🚧

Hansen Yuncken was appointed as the builder for the new RLDC in late 2022. Construction of the new, offsite RLDC on Cooper Street started in January 2023.

Stage Two: Main Works

Site preparation works are scheduled to begin onsite at the hospital in 2023. This will free up space at the hospital for the new multi-storey hospital tower (main works) to be built. Construction of the new multi-storey hospital tower (main works), is set to start in mid-2024.
