#YourEnvironmentOurCommitment
The Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospital - honoring the legacy of Victoria’s first female Premier - will meet rising demand for maternity and pediatric services in Melbourne, one of Australia’s fastest growing areas. With 5.300 babies born every year at Sunshine Hospital which expect to increase to at least 7.000 births per year by 2026 this new world-class colocation for women’s and children’s services is well needed.
The newbuilt multicolored facility provides specialist maternity and pediatric care in one location. The mo-dern new building in 9 levels includes: a ground floor atrium, first floor open clinic, 2 floors of labor delivery rooms and operating facilities, 2 floors of hospital workspace and special care nursery cots and finally 3 floors including inpatient bedrooms and an outdoor room - all together 25.000 m2 and a total of 237 beds, 20 maternity delivery rooms, 39 special care nursery cots, 64 maternity beds, 32 pediatric beds, 4 operating rooms and additional outpatient clinics. It also features the West’s first ever neonatal intensive care unit to care for the most critically ill babies.
