SJOG Bendigo CSSD

The redevelopment of the Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD) at St John of God Bendigo was a technically complex and highly coordinated healthcare infrastructure project delivered within a live hospital environment. This critical upgrade was designed to modernise the hospital’s sterilisation facilities, ensuring compliance with the latest healthcare standards and significantly improving operational efficiency.

The project involved a full strip-out and reconstruction of the existing CSSD, transforming it into a state-of-the-art facility. The works demanded precise integration across multiple service trades, including:

• Medical Gas Systems

• Mechanical Services

• Electrical Systems

• Fire Protection

• Hydraulic Services

One of the defining challenges of the project was delivering a major infrastructure upgrade within a functioning hospital without disrupting essential services. Close collaboration with hospital management, infection control teams, and end users was key to staging works, maintaining safety, and ensuring continuity of care throughout the build.

The result is a future-ready CSSD facility that supports best-practice sterilisation procedures and underpins the hospital’s surgical and procedural services for years to come.
