Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital Emergency Department (ED) Redevelopment

The ED redevelopment has been designed to meet changing community needs and accommodate increases in emergency presentations.

Dedicated areas will be established in the ED, including a new Urgent Critical Care Toxicology Unit, providing a separate area for alcohol and other drug-related presentations.

Works on the ED redevelopment include:

• upgraded emergency department entrance, waiting area and triage area
• new urgent critical care toxicology unit
• enhanced observation ward
• enhanced ambulance triage facilities
• fast-track area for ambulant, low-complexity patients  
• dedicated 'pitstop area'
• new external covered walkways and entry canopy, including a new main SCGH entry canopy.
