The Cairns Hospital Expansion Project will deliver an additional 96 beds for the Cairns and Hinterland region, including 64 beds at Cairns Hospital, and 32 additional beds in a new, state of the art surgical centre. The new surgical centre will be adjacent to James Cook University’s Cairns Tropical Enterprise Centre (CTEC), which will form part of the Far North Queensland Health Innovation Precinct, allowing for stronger linkages for teaching, learning and research. The site for the new surgical centre, on the corner of Charles and Digger Streets in Cairns North, is also close to the Cairns Hospital campus. The $250 million Cairns Hospital Expansion will create more than 610 jobs during the construction phase.

Hansen Yuncken will partner across Queensland’s health system to bring together an innovative and modern design based on the principles of people, including our First Nations communities, place, value and technology.
