Why Caboolture Hospital?

Caboolture Hospital was recently re-accredited with a medical workforce expanding to more than 200 in 2023. Our strength is our people and their strong connection with the local community.

You will also be part of the Metro North Health Service with Caboolture Hospital undergoing a major expansion and redevelopment which will see many changes to the facility opening in mid-2023.

The $399.5 million project will deliver a five-storey clinical services building that supports 130 new beds, a six-storey multi-storey carpark.

The Caboolture Hospital Redevelopment will provide the community with access to a modern health facility and new specialist healthcare services, meaning patients can be treated closer to home, reducing the need to travel to larger facilities for treatment.

The redevelopment includes:

• new main entry, café and visitor’s lounge
• new and expanded Emergency Department
• 10-bed Intensive Care Unit
• six operating theatres and two Gastrointestinal Endoscopy suites.
• 10-bed Palliative Care Unit
• 14-bed Geriatric Evaluation and Management Unit
• eight-bed Cardiac Care Unit
• four-bed Chest Pain Assessment Unit
• 16-bed Medical Ward
• 32-bed Medical Ward

An eight-chair Day Chemotherapy Unit, which will provide chemotherapy and infusion services for cancer patients, is also being delivered.

The new clinical services building will include linkways on Levels one (ground floor) and two, which connect the new building to the existing Caboolture Hospital, allowing patients, visitors and staff to easily move between the two buildings.
