Private health care is now closer to home for residents of Springwood and surrounds.

The Brisbane South Private Hospital (BSPH) was officially opened today within the City of Logan’s new Springwood Health Hub in Paxton Street.

Brisbane South Private Hospital features three large operating theatres, including a hybrid operating room equipped with advanced medical imaging technology, setting the stage for excellence in patient care.

It offers day surgery and services such as gynaecology, pain management, IVF and paediatric care.

The seven-storey Springwood Health Hub was completed late last year by developer Rogerscorp. It includes hospital-grade lifts, a patient drop-off zone, an ambulance bay and free car parking. Onsite services include I-Med Radiology, Southside Endoscopy, Qualitas Health GP clinic, pharmacy, pathology, fracture clinic, sessional suites and a ground floor café.

The opening of the private hospital is part of more than $126 million in major health care investments delivered, or under construction, across the city since 2022.

In 2018, Council prepared a Business Case for Health and Medical Investment, leveraging research and data analysis to identify market gaps in health provision and measure demand. The primary aim was to attract investment, drive development, and improve access to health services while addressing underlying health concerns in the city. This new facility is a testament to Logan City Council’s ongoing advocacy across all levels of government and the private sector, for high-quality health investment in our region.

The delivery of new private, and public health facilities in the city means more choice for local families and importantly, removes the need to travel long distances to Brisbane or the Gold Coast for medical care.

Other health services recently completed, or under construction, in Logan include:

• Meadowbrook Medical Centre, in Logandowns Drive, Meadowbrook. Anchor tenants include UQ Health Care Ltd (GP, allied health, immunisation), and Logan Healthy Living (addressing diabetes, obesity and related diagnosis).
• Meadowbrook Health Centre, under construction on Nestor Drive in Meadowbrook. This facility will include public and private health services, alongside a new Logan Urgent and Specialist Care Centre (LUSCC) – catering to minor injury and illness and is the first public-private partnership of its kind.
• Yarrabilba Health City, on Adler Circuit, Yarrabilba, providing cardiology, oncology and radiology services.
• OAPL (Orthopaedic Alliances Pty Ltd) facility in Slacks Creek providing prosthetic and orthotic clinical services.

As well as the investment attraction program performed by Logan Office of Economic Development, Council is also attracting health and medical investment by improving key centres including Meadowbrook through placemaking initiatives; and supporting the industry with jobs and employment outcomes through the Mayor’s Jobs and Skills Taskforce.
