Comprehensive Care

In 2011, Silver Thomas Hanley conducted a review of a previous Monash Medical Centre Clayton (MMCC) Master Plan produced in 2007. The intent was to update the 2007 preferred design solution in order to reflect the revised and projected strategic operational, service, environmental and amenity facilities required.

In 2013, STH were appointed to deliver the new Monash Children’s Hospital, designed to be Australia’s third largest children’s hospital. The aim was to provide one coherent public identity for the comprehensive paediatric services provided across several campuses in a new state-of-the-art Children’s Hospital. The new centre is connected to the existing MMCC, integrating tertiary, primary and secondary care for children and increases the capacity of paediatric services at MMCC, providing for the projected growth and future expansion requirements.

The 230-bed facility model includes 96 Paediatric Inpatient beds, 12 children’s Cancer Day beds, 20 Same Day beds, 10 Paediatric Intensive Care (PICU) beds, 30 Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) cots, 28 beds providing special Mental Health Services for children and adolescents, expanded operating facilities for the hospital including 4 Operating Theatres, Medical Imaging expansion, General Paediatric Outpatients comprising 27 Consulting Rooms, 23 Treatment rooms, Program Administration, Academic Unit and Satellite Pharmacy.
