Health Infrastructure is working in partnership with Hunter New England Health District to redevelop the Glen Innes Hospital to provide enhanced healthcare facilities for the Hunter New England community. The Glen Innes Hospital will continue to function as a District Hospital and remain networked to Armidale, Tamworth and Inverell hospitals to provide the community with access to specialised services. In February 2022 the NSW Government announced an additional $30 million to redevelop Glen Innes Hospital, bringing the total investment commitment to $50 million.
The redevelopment will provide patients, families and carers with a modern facility to meet the health needs of the community now and into the future. It will also offer a more culturally appropriate environment to improve access for all population groups.
Community members and current and former nurses gathered with the redevelopment project team to farewell Crommelin House in February 2023. Read on to find out more about the farewell. The demolition of Crommelin House was completed in November 2023 as part of preparations for the redevelopment.
The latest planning and design update was released for feedback in March 2025, including a fly through video, and the consultation summary report has been prepared. Click here for more information.
