The Victorian health sector’s 2022-23 State Budget commitment of $2.5 billion towards health infrastructure builds on the intent to support sustainable reform in the state.

Building on the objectives of system repair and reform tied to the goal of “Putting Patients First”, the intent is to not only create capacity for increasing current and future demands but also re-define design and role of hospitals for a digitizing health system and the evolving needs of consumers.

Co-designing with patients, flexible hospital design, enabling new care models, and environmental sustainability – these are among the key themes shaping the work led by health redevelopment teams and executives to modernize our built environments. Being in the redevelopment executive’s hotseat in such an environment is no easy task. As drivers of this change, these leaders must be prepared to paint a vision for a future-proof hospital and drive engagement from clinicians and staff who are busy dealing with COVID pressures. Most importantly, the delivered hospital designs and infrastructure must create the impact they promise for the staff and the community.

This report will identify and review the changing patterns, challenges and investment priorities for all professionals driving health redevelopment projects.
