By GlobalDataThe project is valued at $658m and construction on it will begin in the next few months. It is part of $1.3bn investment by the NSW Government in paediatric care.
John Holland will partner with Health Infrastructure and the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network for the project.
Hazzard added: “A new paediatric virtual care centre will also improve choices and access to 24/7 care for patients and families throughout NSW.”
During the project’s construction phase, nearly 1,200 direct jobs will be supported, and 500 roles will be produced within paediatrics across Randwick Health and Innovation Precinct, according to Gabrielle Upton.
The new building is likely to open its doors to public in late 2025. The existing children’s hospital in Randwick will then offer outpatient and allied health services.
