Royal Canberra Hospital
About Royal Canberra Hospital
The first hospital in Canberra was the Canberra Hospital in Balmain Crescent Acton in 1914, predominately for the workers building the new capital of Canberra. Called later the Canberra Community Hospital in 1929 after additions to the older building which became necessary due to the influx of government staff following the opening of Parliament in Canberra in 1927. In 1942 a new hospital was built on Acton Peninsula also known as the Canberra Community Hospital until 1972 when it earned its title as the Royal Canberra Hospital. It grew to become the major hospital in Canberra before being closed in 1991 and later demolished in 1997.
