More than 85,000 extra patients will have access to medical treatment and an estimated 3000 jobs will be created under a proposed $1 billion Victorian government hospital plan.
Premier Daniel Andrews said upgrades to hospitals in Melbourne's north, including Austin Hospital at Heidelberg and Northern Hospital at Epping, would give more people access to high-quality services amid the state's healthcare crisis.
"Our healthcare workers go above and beyond to provide the very best care to Victorians and they deserve the very best modern infrastructure to match," Mr Andrews said on Tuesday.
