The Prince Charles Hospital masterplan: have your say

The Queensland Government is delivering a new masterplan to set the long-term direction and growth of The Prince Charles Hospital.

The masterplan provides a long-term vision for expanding and upgrading The Prince Charles Hospital campus, with the first stage delivering significant additional capacity and new and expanded services.

Public consultation begins now, providing the local community with an opportunity to have its say on the future of The Prince Charles Hospital.

Stage one

Stage One will deliver:

100+ new hospital beds
an expanded Emergency Department
an expanded Cardiac Cath Lab
a new Outpatients building
a new Mental Health facility

Given The Prince Charles Hospital’s status as Australia’s leading cardiothoracic hospital, the first treatment spaces will be delivered by 2028, as part of the Chest Pain Assessment Unit within the expanded Emergency Department.

Construction of the new mental health facility is expected to be completed in 2031.

Stage two and beyond

Stage Two of the expansion will include a new Acute Services Building, which will house a new and expanded Emergency Department, Cardiac Investigations Unit, operating theatres, Intensive Care Unit and other supporting services.

Why a staged approach?

Following a detailed review of the Capacity Expansion Program, the clinical priorities for the project have been refreshed to reflect current and future service needs for the community and health workforce in North Brisbane.

A staged development and delivery allows TPCH to expand capacity in affordable, separately funded steps matched to future demand, so new beds and services can open sooner while the hospital continues to operate safely during construction.
