St John of God Berwick Hospital

The St John of God Berwick Hospital expansion enhances healthcare access in one of Victoria’s fastest-growing regions, ensuring the community receives high-quality, specialised care close to home. Delivered in partnership with Generation Healthcare REIT, this project is a key part of the broader SJOG Casey Health Precinct, building on the success of the 2015 specialist centre and day oncology clinic.

Designed to address increasing demand, the hospital introduces 190 new beds, six operating theatres, a cardiac and vascular catheter laboratory, two endoscopy theatres, and six birthing suites. Crucially, it provides the region’s first Intensive Care Unit and a dedicated cardiac unit, filling a critical gap in local healthcare services. The master plan ensures long-term adaptability, with future expansions increasing capacity to 316 beds, 12 theatres, and a dedicated outpatient rehabilitation centre.

The hospital’s design balances advanced clinical functionality with patient-centered care, creating a welcoming and efficient environment for both patients and staff. By integrating state-of-the-art medical services with long-term growth planning, this development strengthens the region’s healthcare network and ensures continued access to essential services for generations to come.

The design showcases a folded façade with a café under. The tower is deliberately simple in its form with curtain wall glass, to provide a backdrop to the education hub and canopy.
