Overview
The Queensland Government is investing more than $18.5 billion across five years in a range of health infrastructure programs to deliver high-quality healthcare for Queenslanders through the Hospital Rescue Plan (HRP).
The new Toowoomba Hospital will deliver new and expanded health care services to the region to cater to its growing population.
The vision for the Baillie Henderson Hospital campus will be a world-class health and knowledge precinct experience, centred around the new Toowoomba Hospital. The strikingly beautiful 75 hectare campus includes tree-lined spaces interconnected between heritage buildings, multidisciplinary health services, research, education, commercial, and community recreation spaces.
Construction of the new hospital will deliver around 3,127 construction jobs, providing a significant boost to the local economy.

Concept
This content is an artist's impression only, based on a concept design. The images are subject to change as the project progresses.
Following the announcement of the Hospital Rescue Plan, the project team is working to revalidate planning, to ensure this vital infrastructure meets the needs of the growing community now and into the future.
The revised scope reflects sustained growth in the area and confirms Toowoomba’s role as a cornerstone of the region’s long-term health infrastructure.
The expansion will allow Toowoomba to consolidate services into a purpose-built site, enabling more cohesive planning and stronger long-term outcomes for the community.
Darling Downs Health will continue to work closely with Health Infrastructure Queensland as the planning reset progresses.
Objectives
- Deliver 118 additional overnight beds
- Enhanced local access to services by the community
- Improved patient health outcomes, experience, and access to services
- Timely access to treatment and reduced need for patients to travel outside the region for care
- Improve staff retention and recruitment
- Opportunities for enhanced training and development of staff
The site will use the green and open spaces, heritage architecture, and views to inform scale and articulation of the build.
The new Hospital will be built with a focus on staff and patient movements, efficiency, ease of access and wayfinding.
