New Royal Adelaide Hospital Opens to Patients
The new Royal Adelaide Hospital opened its emergency department and began receiving patients, capping a large BIM-driven build delivered by the Celsus consortium.
- The new Royal Adelaide Hospital's emergency department opened at 7:00am on 5 September 2017 with 65 cubicles, as the old department closed at 6:59am[2]
- Patients moved from the old hospital at the eastern end of North Terrace to the new one at the western end over 4-6 September 2017[2][3]
- The consortium handed the hospital over to the South Australian Government on 14 June 2017 after testing and commissioning[3]
- The $2 billion hospital was originally due in April 2016; the opposition put the overrun at more than $730 million, while the Premier said the builder bore about $400 million of delay cost[3]
- The new hospital has 120 more beds, and holding it unused cost taxpayers about $1 million a day after handover[3]
