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.
