Thiess Pty Ltd is part of a consortium that will deliver the Royal North Shore Hospital and Community Health Services project for InfraShore Pty Ltd. The project is the largest-ever health Public Private Partnership undertaken in New South Wales.

Consortium members include Thiess Pty Ltd, Thiess Services, ISS Facility Services, Wilson Parking and financer ABN AMRO. The contract involves the financing, design, construction operation (with the exception of the provision of clinical services) and maintenance of the facility for a period of 28 years.

The Public Private Partnership has enabled architects and planners to draw on the best ideas from around the world and deliver an expandable design that can grow and change in response to healthcare needs.

The designs for the new buildings will create an integrated hospital campus. They promise ease of access for patients, families and visitors while supporting effective patient flow and minimising travel times.
