The inclusion of specialised services such as the Binji and Boori programme underscores the project’s commitment to catering to the diverse health requirements of the local population.

With the contract now awarded, the focus has moved to finalising the design of the centre.

Construction is set to begin in the upcoming months and the centre is anticipated to be fully operational by 2026.

“The new Warrawong Community Health Centre will provide essential community-based health services, such as community nursing, child and family health, and mental health support.

“The new Warrawong Community Health Centre will also help drive many job opportunities for the Illawarra region.”
