Minister for health, mental health and ambulance services Shannon Fentiman said: “Our rural health facilities do an incredible job serving their community, but some are ageing, and the time is right to update, replace and refurbish them to continue meeting the growing needs of these communities.

“The addition of Laidley, Boonah, and Jandowae hospitals to the Building Rural and Remote Health Program demonstrates the Palaszczuk Government’s ongoing commitment to the health of rural and regional Queenslanders.

“These improvements will meet growing demand for services and be built to last for generations.

“They will incorporate contemporary, practical clinical spaces that utilise the latest in medical technology so that our health care workers can continue to deliver the best care possible.”
