About the Hospital: North Canberra Hospital (formerly Calvary Public Hospital Bruce) and Clare Holland House are now run and operated by Canberra Health Services (CHS).
This is a significant milestone as the ACT Government moves towards delivering a new billion-dollar hospital on Canberra's Northside.
The current North Canberra Hospital is a level 4 hospital that provides a range of acute and sub-acute services including community-based care to the residents of the northside of Canberra and Southern NSW. North Canberra Hospital (NCH) is a 270 public hospital located in Canberra's expanding northside. North Canberra Hospital operates a 24-hour Emergency Department. Inpatient services include general medicine, surgery, maternity, mental health, and critical care.
Other service modalities include day surgery, specialist outpatient clinics, Hospital in the Home, and the Geriatric Rapid Acute Care Evaluation service that reaches into aged care facilities across the ACT.
The new Northside Hospital will be built on the existing Calvary Hospital campus in Bruce. It will be a modern, state-of-the-art hospital for patients, visitors, and its workforce and will provide more beds and increased services. Until then, it's business as usual at the NCH, and we'll keep providing high-quality care to our patients and community.

Canberra Hospital Expansion Project: CHS is constructing a new critical services building called 'Building 5' which is a 44,000sqm nine-storey building specifically designed to deliver state-of-the-art acute clinical services at the Canberra Hospital. Building 5 is the largest healthcare infrastructure project undertaken in the Territory's history and it represents the largest clinical and operational change program to ever be implemented by Canberra Health Services. Building 5 integrates with a number of existing buildings at the Campus including Building 1 and Building 2, to facilitate a seamless public thoroughfare, patient transportation and back-of-house logistics distribution. North Canberra Hospital: As of 3 July 2023, Calvary Public Hospital Bruce transitioned to CHS and became North Canberra Hospital.

The ACT Government will be building a new northside hospital on the existing hospital campus in Bruce to meet the growing healthcare needs of our community, with construction to commence mid-decade providing more beds, increased services, and increased career opportunities.
