Albury Emergency Department

Construction Underway

The $36m redevelopment to the Albury Emergency Department (ED) is underway, an exciting and much-anticipated upgrade to existing ED, offering increased facilities for patients and greater support to the dedicated emergency staff.

Jointly funded by the NSW and Victorian governments, the development will significantly expand local emergency service delivery and provide contemporary emergency care facilities for the Albury Wodonga region. Stage One of the project is due for completion in late 2023. Stage Two is due for completion in mid-2024.

Plans are in place to minimise interruptions to service delivery during the construction period. Staff will continue to deliver emergency care through the Albury and Wodonga EDs as usual.

Day Procedure Patients, Family and Carers
Albury Hospital's Day Procedure Unit (DPU) Entrance will be closed from Sunday 14 August. Patients checking into our DPU will need to arrive via the hospital's main entrance. Concierge and volunteers will be able to direct you towards the DPU for your appointment. Drop-off and pick-up parking will be available at the main entrance.

Parking Changes

Construction will also impact parking on the Albury Campus and we have outlined a number of changes to parking arrangements. We’re conscious that parking supply is an ongoing challenge for staff and patients, likely to be further impacted by construction.

We’re asking for patience and understanding on this journey as we work towards a new staff carpark on Borella Road that will help ease the strain on parking. This new carpark is expected to be operational by October 2022.

New facility at a glance

The new facility will include a specialised resuscitation hub, paediatric treatment area, acute treatment area, and multiple triage rooms with their own accompanying waiting rooms. Additional ambulance bays, X-Ray and CT Scanning spaces, behavioural assessment rooms and private family consult rooms are also included in the project.
