To respond to Canberra’s growing and ageing population and the increasing demand for health care services, the ACT Government is building a new northside hospital in Bruce.

The new northside hospital represents an investment of more than $1 billion and will be the largest single health infrastructure project to be delivered in the Territory’s history.

The new northside hospital will be built on the existing North Canberra Hospital campus in Bruce. It will be owned by the ACT Government and operated by Canberra Health Services, delivering a more efficient and effective health system for Canberrans. It will be a modern, state-of-the-art hospital for patients, visitors and its workforce. It will provide more beds and increased services than are currently offered.

The ACT Government is committed to delivering a new hospital on the northside that can meet the growing needs of our community. More than $1 billion will be invested to build a modern, state-of-the art hospital that will boost Canberra’s health care capacity.

The new hospital will be built in Bruce with construction commencing mid-decade.

To help shape the early planning and design of a new northside hospital, the ACT Health Directorate conducted community and stakeholder engagement activities during 2022.

As the project continues, there will be opportunities for community engagement. Find out about how we engage with the community.
