To better serve the healthcare needs of its rapidly growing population, Peninsula Private Hospital in Kippa Ring has launched a state-of-the-art surgical complex as the first major step in its large-scale redevelopment.
A New Hub for Surgical Care
The new operating theatre complex, officially declared open on 25 September, marks a new chapter for the hospital. The expansion includes four new operating theatres, modern anaesthetic rooms, a multi-stage recovery unit, and a central sterilising services department. This upgrade is designed to improve the flow of surgical procedures and enhance the patient experience from start to finish.
Peninsula Private Hospital’s General Manager and Director of Nursing, Michele Gardner, called the opening a significant achievement for both the hospital and the wider community. She explained the new facilities will allow staff to care for more patients with greater efficiency, all within an environment built to support comfort, privacy, and a smoother recovery. The centre’s advanced technology is set to increase the number of surgeries the hospital can handle, particularly in high-demand areas.
Expanding to Meet Community Needs
This major investment is a direct response to the needs of the growing North Brisbane and Redcliffe Peninsula communities. The primary goal is to increase the hospital’s capacity in key specialties, including orthopaedics, urology, and general surgery, which could help reduce wait times for local residents needing these procedures.
Matt Tallis, the Queensland Manager for parent company Healthscope, stated that the project strengthens the hospital’s ability to meet these local needs while maintaining a high standard of care. He affirmed Healthscope’s pride in supporting the Peninsula team as they begin this next chapter of service for their community. For more than four decades, the 60-bed hospital has been a vital part of the area’s medical services.
What’s Next for the Hospital
This opening is just the first completed milestone in a larger redevelopment plan. Work will continue on a new Day Surgery Unit (DSU) and a five-bed High Dependency Unit (HDU), both expected to be ready by February 2026.
Further refurbishments will create more single-bed patient rooms in the medical ward, improving privacy for those staying in the hospital. The final stages, scheduled for completion in early 2026, will also include a new reception area, a comfortable discharge lounge, and new staff amenities.
