The Hornsby community is set to benefit from a super-sized emergency department, roof-top helipad and Australia’s first public hospital robotic pharmacy among the first-class services at the newly redeveloped $265 million Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital.
Premier Dominic Perrottet said the NSW Government is delivering a first-class health facility to cater for the needs of local residents now and into the future as the community continues to grow.
“We are making the right investments in communities across the State to strengthen our frontline services so we can deliver what people need sooner and closer to home,” Mr Perrottet said.
“This $265 million hospital redevelopment will ensure our frontline health workers have the best facilities and equipment in the country and help secure a brighter future for NSW families.”
Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the expanded emergency department had already been put to the test during the Omicron outbreak, providing safe, high-quality care to local residents.
“The new emergency department is three times the size of the previous ED and has purpose-built isolation rooms for patients who may be infectious, as well as a separate emergency unit for children,” Mr Hazzard said.
“The entire facility is world-class – from the entrance to the new outpatients department, intensive care unit and the first public hospital robotic pharmacy in Australia.”
Treasurer and Member for Hornsby Matt Kean said following feedback from clinicians and residents, Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital now boasts a roof-top helipad to enable faster and safer medical transfers of critically ill patients.
“From the upsized emergency department to the world-class medical facilities for children, our hospital upgrade is what the people of Hornsby need and deserve,” Mr Kean said.
“A facility like this will deliver amazing care and treatment for the community and serve
