Details

The State of Queensland through Queensland Health, Health Infrastructure Queensland (HIQ) on behalf of Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service (CHHHS) is undertaking the procurement of a suitably qualified Design and Construct Building Contractor to deliver the Atherton Hospital Upgrades (the Project).

The Atherton Hospital Upgrade Program comprises a series of interconnected infrastructure projects designed to improve clinical service delivery, enhance patient outcomes, address infrastructure deficiencies, and support the future healthcare needs of the Atherton community and surrounding Tablelands region.

The Atherton Hospital Upgrade Program consists of the following projects:

  • 25 Bed Ward Refurbishment;
  • Oncology Refurbishment;
  • New Morgue Building;
  • High Dependency Unit (HDU); and
  • Pathology Refurbishment.

The program includes the refurbishment and expansion of key clinical facilities within Atherton Hospital, together with the construction of new supporting infrastructure to improve service capability, operational efficiency, patient safety, and staff wellbeing. The projects have been developed in response to increasing service demand, ageing infrastructure, evolving healthcare models, and the need to provide contemporary, fit-for-purpose healthcare environments that support high-quality patient care.

Tenderers are invited to attend a site inspection on Wednesday 26 August 2026. Attendance at this meeting is non-mandatory but highly desirable.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this construction & infrastructure opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
