Delivering Australia’s most advanced hospital
The new Royal Adelaide Hospital is one of South Australia's most advanced hospitals, providing world-class care for people and communities.
The new hospital was designed to ensure all South Australians have access to state-of-the-art facilities that are resilient to the State's future health care needs.
The new RAH is located in Adelaide’s west end, alongside the health and research facilities at the SA Health and Medical Research Institute.
It has 800 beds, including 100 same-day beds, and has numerous Economically Sustainable Initiatives incorporated into the design.
