Kane Constructions was awarded the $4m lump sum contract in late 2009.

Works will see the Special Care Nursery  expand from 6 to 20 neonatal cots and will enable Casey Hospital to provide up to an estimated 1,000 additional births per annum increasing the annual number of births from 1,500 to 2,500.

Following completion of the project in late 2010, the facility will have transformed from a Low Level 2 to a High Level 2 Nursery.
