The Box Hill Hospital Redevelopment transformed the facility into the major referral center for Melbourne’s East, ensuring the region’s growing population has access to world-class healthcare. The $447.5 million project expanded critical services, including a larger emergency department, increased intensive care capacity, and additional operating theatres, supporting faster and more efficient patient care.

Designed with patient outcomes in mind, the hospital now integrates inpatient and day cancer treatment, cardiac catheter laboratories, and a dedicated women’s health precinct, ensuring specialised care is accessible within a single facility. The co-location of imaging services with the emergency department streamlines diagnosis and treatment, reducing delays and improving clinical efficiency.

The project was completed ahead of schedule through strategic planning and stakeholder collaboration, minimising disruption to ongoing hospital operations. A modular tower design allowed for additional ‘shell floors,’ providing flexibility for future expansion without exceeding the initial budget.

Delivered in partnership with the Victorian Department of Health and Eastern Health, the new Box Hill Hospital sets a benchmark for healthcare infrastructure, balancing operational efficiency with patient-centered care. 

The new Box Hill Hospital was delivered by the Victorian Department of Health working closely together with Eastern Health with planning and design services delivered by Studio STH in Joint Venture with Jackson Architecture. The project was completed ahead of schedule and accommodates an additional 200 beds and officially opened on August 12th 2014.
