Moranbah’s much-anticipated new hospital is nearing the finish line, with staff currently moving furniture and equipment into the modern facility. The hospital’s interior design features neutral tones of light blue, timber, and marble, creating a calm and welcoming environment for patients, visitors, and staff.
Outside, a newly constructed ambulance entry road leads directly to the Emergency Department, which now boasts four treating bays, a resuscitation bay, as well as procedure and plaster rooms, all in the final stages of fit-out.
Residents driving past the hospital on Mills Avenue will notice new entry and exit points, complete with updated facade signage. The exterior landscaping, road markings, and navigation signage have been completed to ensure smooth traffic flow and enhance safety for all visitors.
Inside, the hospital has been designed for efficiency, with three main reception and triage areas located at the main entrance, Mental Health wing, and Emergency Department. The Community Health wing is a highlight, featuring a large rehabilitation gym, consultation rooms, and spaces designed for group sessions such as the Best Beginnings program.
Each of the hospital’s 10 inpatient rooms now includes its own ensuite, with 8 rooms offering single-bed occupancy for added comfort and privacy.
With final preparations underway, the new Moranbah Hospital is on track to open its doors by the end of November, 2024, providing a significant boost to healthcare services in the region.
