New Melton Hospital
The Exemplar Health consortium has been awarded the contract to deliver the new Melton Hospital, with critical site preparation works underway. Construction of the new Melton Hospital is on track for completion in 2029.
The brand-new hospital will support the growing and diverse communities of Caroline Springs, Rockbank, Melton, Bacchus Marsh and Gisborne. It will ensure the people of Melbourne’s west get the care they need, close to home.
The Melton Hospital will include a 24-hour emergency department, at least 274 beds, an intensive care unit, maternity and neonatal services, mental health services, radiology services and ambulatory care.
Once completed, Melton Hospital will have the capacity to treat 130,000 patients each year and see almost 60,000 patients in the emergency department.

Design development in action for new Melton Hospital
Patients and clinicians put at the heart of the design. More than 60 user group meetings and design workshops have taken place in the lead up to major construction starting mid-year. As part of the design development process, over 20 workshops have taken place at Big Plans, giving staff and clinicians the opportunity to walk-through real-life projections of key spaces. The Birthing and Maternity Assessment Centre (MAC) was at the centre of discussions recently as staff tested the functionality of rooms, by walking through life size projections of each space.
