The $67 million ED project at Hollywood Private Hospital features six levels and three new wards. 

The state-of-the-art ED will be open to both private and public patients from Monday, November 1, with a doctor’s consultation fee applicable.

It is the second private ED in the State and features 13 treatment bays (including an isolation room), a triage assessment room, a resuscitation room and a spacious waiting lounge area.

An additional 60 inpatient beds will be available in the wards above the ED and there is the capacity to open a further 30 beds at a later date.

Hollywood is WA’s largest hospital and the new development expands the hospital’s size to over 900 licensed beds.

The ED project is the final stage in a five-year, privately-funded $200 million investment by Ramsay Health Care to provide comprehensive health care services at Hollywood Private Hospital.

Patients who present to the ED will have ease of access to a range of medical, surgical and allied health services all on one hospital campus.

Mr Cook said the new private emergency department at Hollywood Private Hospital will provide an important service for residents.

“The private ED delivers more choice for patients and will help reduce pressure on our State’s health system,” Mr Cook said.

“It is important the people of Western Australia have diversified health care options.

“I congratulate Ramsay Health Care for this $67 million ED development and by investing $200 million into Hollywood Private Hospital over the course of five years.

“This significant investment will help meet the health care needs of residents today and well into the future.”

Hollywood Private Hospital Chief Executive Officer Peter Mott said the new ED is part of a significant expansion plan to provide an extensive range of health care services in one convenient location in Nedlands.

“The $48 million Hollywood Consulting Centre opened last year and brings together a suite of cancer services under one roof,” Mr Mott said.

“Our very successful cardiothoracic surgery service was also launched last year and there was a major expansion of our mental health services around the same time.”

Ramsay Health Care operates about 50 EDs around the world, including 11 in Australia.
