History

edit

Robina Hospital was originally built as a private hospital in 2000, offering some public services. In 2002, the Queensland Government purchased the hospital.

The $42 million Stage One Hospital expansion was completed in September 2007 delivering 25 beds and a new emergency department, intensive care and coronary care unit, expanded renal services and increased pathology, radiology, pharmacy, and medical records departments.

The $287.7 million Stage Two and Three expansion delivered an extra 154 new beds transforming it into a 364-bed teaching hospital. Baulderstone was awarded the expansion project which included major new works, construction in two of the hospital wings and refurbishment of the existing hospital building. The main works were completed in late 2010 and completion of refurbishment works in early 2012.[1]
