About the Building R and Remote Health Program

Queensland hospitals will undergo the biggest expansion program ever seen in a State Budget focused squarely on health.

The Palaszczuk Government has delivered the largest investment in new hospitals and new beds in Queensland’s history, with the 2022-23 State Budget providing additional funding of $9.78 billion over six years.

The replacement of the Camooweal Health Centre is part of the $104 million Phase 1 of the Building Rural and Remote Health Program.

The replacement of the Normanton Hospital is part of the $943.5 million Phase 2 of the Building Rural and Remote Health Program.

A further announcement in January 2023 shared that the Doomadgee Hospital will also be replaced under the initiative.
