This development includes an inpatient unit with a 19-bed capacity, primary ambulatory care, an urgent care centre, a family and dining room, a palliative care suite, a gym, and outdoor spaces.

Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said: “The Wentworth community will really benefit from a new health facility, which will deliver enhanced health services in a culturally welcoming and patient-focused environment.”

The redevelopment is expected to support around 50 direct jobs during the construction phase, benefiting the local economy. Several indirect jobs are also anticipated to be created over the project’s life.

Completion of the project is expected in 2025. Existing health services will operate throughout the construction period and measures will be taken to minimise disruptions.
