New Mount Barker Hospital Development

The South Australian Government has committed $320.8 million to the New Mount Barker Hospital Development which will see a major redevelopment on the existing site and provide greater access to high-quality health services closer to home for the expanding population of Mount Barker and the Adelaide Hills region.

The New Mount Barker Hospital will:

  • Triple inpatient capacity from 34 to 102 beds.
  • Expand capacity in specialist maternity, paediatric, rehabilitation, medical, surgical and palliative care beds.
  • Deliver 35 consult rooms to support Community and Allied Health, Aboriginal Health and medical outpatient services.
  • Establish a new 12-bed mental health unit.

Community consultation

Through all stages of the development, our engagement approach will be guided by the New Mount Barker Hospital Engagement Framework which sets out how we will involve the workforce, community and consumers in the engagement process.

We are committed to ensuring the community is engaged and kept informed about the New Mount Barker Hospital Development.

A Community and Consumer Reference Group is consulting with the Project team, providing feedback on the planning and designs, and helping ensure the new hospital meets the needs of the community.

We’re also engaging with key stakeholders including the Veterans community, First Nations and Peramangk Peoples, and key interest groups such as the Adelaide Hills’ Palliative Care Interest Group.

The project continues to seek feedback from the community and is looking for local residents and hospital users to be a part of future consultation. To express your interest in being involved please contact us via the details provided below.
