The Victorian Government is investing $49.4 million to upgrade The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH), creating a new 30-bed ward and expanding the Emergency Department (ED) with more treatment spaces.

Delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority with Kane Constructions as the builder, this upgrade will help us keep providing the highest level of care.

Emergency Department works

Building works are underway to create a larger ED.

Once works are complete, it will have:

• One third more treatment spaces
• A second waiting room
• New staff facilities

What will happen

Our ED will be extended into a former undercover car park. There will then be a range of other works to reconfigure and fit out the different rooms and areas.

Expect to see or hear works between the hours of 6am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday.

During construction there will be some unavoidable disruption, and we thank patients and families for their understanding.
