More than 1,400 Queenslanders are stuck in hospitals waiting on aged care or NDIS supports. New data released yesterday reveals there are over 1,100 older and 300 younger patients waiting in Queensland hospitals for more appropriate care and support systems.
That’s why today we can announce the next phase of Adult Crime, Adult Time will be bail reform. We’re going to have the strongest bail laws in the country. Labor’s decade of weak laws and fewer police created the Youth Crime Crisis that’s ripped communities apart.
The Mackay Base Hospital Expansion forms part of the Crisafulli Government’s fully funded Hospital Rescue Plan. The largest investment in hospital infrastructure in Queensland's history.
Main construction works will commence in 2027, with all Stage 1 packages to be delivered by 2030, which includes:
- At least 128 new hospital beds
- Expanded emergency, maternity, birthing, neonatal and paediatric services
- More than 1,000 new carparks
- A rooftop helipad.
Since Surgery Connect began, more than 35,000 additional procedures have already been delivered.
On average, around 100 Queenslanders every day are now receiving surgery sooner, and the elective surgery waitlist is down 8,136 from Labor’s peak.
We’ve delivered a new CT scanner service for Charters Towers.
Now local residents can access advanced diagnostic imaging locally, reducing travel and ensuring they receive care sooner in the comfort of their own community.

The Crisafulli Government’s fully-funded Hospital Rescue Plan is delivering 3 new hospitals and expanding 10 more across the state, providing more than 2,600 additional beds for Queenslanders and world class healthcare closer to home.
Our $35.5 billion Health Budget is strengthening the foundations for a fresh start for building Queensland’s Future.
Labor failed to build the health infrastructure to keep up with growing demand.
