Tasmania’s largest, and most mission critical health facility.

Unparalleled healthcare security solutions.

Architectural visualisation of the Royal Hobart Hospital Upgrade Project

The Royal Hobart Hospital stands as a cornerstone healthcare facility in Tasmania, supporting the needs of a diverse community, through the delivery of unparalleled clinical services.

Our healthcare safety and security consultants provided authoritative advice and design guidance as part of the multi-million dollar hospital upgrade. Our design review ensured the appointed architect integrated good practice risk-informed physical and technical (security systems) security into their designs. Our design review approach considered healthcare infrastructure standards such as the Australian Healthcare Facility Guidelines (AusHFG) to ensure an enhanced level of safety and security for staff, patrons, visitors and critical hospital infrastructure is delivered.

Alexander James & Partners expertise in providing authoritative healthcare safety and security advice has played an integral role in enhancing healthcare and emergency department environments.

Our dedication to identifying areas of improvement through design review and operational analysis not only enhanced the safety of the emergency department but also underscored the broader importance of safeguarding and securing people and assets.
