3D Rendering of RNS Exterior

The $973 million redevelopment of Royal North Shore is the largest health capital works project in NSW history. It will not only help meet NSW’s health needs into the future, it will create jobs and boost confidence in the construction sector.

Continuing Royal North Shore’s proud tradition
Royal North Shore Hospital and Community Health Service has been caring for NSW residents for almost 120 years. This redevelopment will allow RNS to continue that proud tradition in striking, new, purpose-built facilities.

Patient-centred consolidation
The redevelopment will consolidate 53 outdated buildings into 2 patient-centred facilities that can expand to meet future needs. It will include:

• A new Main Hospital Building (Acute Care facility)
• A new Community Health Building
• 462 acute beds to complement the 124 beds within the Douglas Building
• 40 acute mental health beds
• Additional chemotherapy and renal dialysis chairs
• Enhanced diagnostic services and ambulatory care services
• 29 procedure and operating rooms

New low-rise RNS design creates healing environment
The new main RNS hospital building will be relatively low-rise with colour-coded interiors to make it easier for people to find their way. Its design creates a welcoming, healing environment and its compact footprint ensures every department is within 2 mins walk of the main lift core.

Creating jobs that build a better future
The $950 million redevelopment of Royal North Shore is another example of NSW investing in projects that create jobs and help us build a better future.
