Construction of the $658 million Sydney Children\u2019s Hospital Stage One and Minderoo Children\u2019s Comprehensive Cancer Centre project has reached completion. This marks a major milestone in the hospital\u2019s redevelopment, transforming paediatric care for children and their families across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Health Ryan Park joined the Member for Coogee Dr Marjorie O\u2019Neill to visit the new 12-storey building delivered as part of a more than $1.5 billion investment in health infrastructure within the Randwick Health and Innovation Precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new building brings together leading clinicians, researchers and educators under one roof, with contemporary health facilities and spaces for families to connect while navigating their healthcare needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new building will welcome patients and their families from late 2025, following an operational commissioning period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The $658 million project includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a first for Australia, childhood cancer research and the clinical care of children with cancer will integrate into one paediatric facility, accelerating the translation of research discovery into improved clinical practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Minderoo Children\u2019s Comprehensive Cancer Centre will be housed within the new hospital building and adjacent UNSW Health Translation Hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Centre will include advanced laboratory spaces and deliver integrated, specialist cancer treatment, education and research programs, with this aim to transform childhood cancer treatment and become one of the world\u2019s leading paediatric cancer centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new building will also enable significant enhancement of paediatric neurology services, with the top floor dedicated to a new Neuroscience Comprehensive Care and Research Centre, providing integrated specialist services to improve the care and treatment of children with a range of neurological conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This project has been delivered by NSW Health Infrastructure in partnership with the Sydney Children\u2019s Hospitals Network and Children\u2019s Cancer Institute, with John Holland as principal contractor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Almost 1.95 million construction hours have been worked throughout the life of the project, which will also enable a pipeline for 500 roles within paediatrics across the Randwick Health and Innovation Precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2025-26 Budget confirmed a $12.4 billion investment over four years for health infrastructure to continue building a modern, resilient health system that meets both current needs and future demand. This includes the NSW Government\u2019s announcement of $11.25 million to support the planning of upgrades to the Royal Hospital for Women, further investing in the Randwick Health and Innovation Precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
