Construction of the new Batemans Bay Community Health project has reached a significant milestone with the major concrete pour completed, setting the foundations for the new health facility.
The Minns Labor Government is investing $20 million to deliver a modern and purpose-built community health service to support communities across the Batemans Bay area.
The new health facility will be located on the existing Batemans Bay Hospital site next to the Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, providing the community with convenient access to both health services.
Approximately 30 concrete trucks were used to deliver 200 cubic metres of concrete to the site to complete the pour, which paves the way for construction of the building's framework.
Batemans Bay Community Health Service will provide improved access to a range of health services in one location, including:
- allied health services
- child, youth and family services
- women's health and sexual health services
- community nursing, wound management
- palliative care
- Aboriginal health services
- alcohol and other drugs services
- specialist outpatient clinics
- pathology.
Construction for the new health facility is expected to be completed in late 2026.
Batemans Bay Hospital will continue to provide healthcare services for the community while the Batemans Bay Community Health and the new $330 million Eurobodalla Regional Hospital are being built. Every effort is being made to minimise disruption to residents, staff, patients and visitors.
The Minns Labor Government is also investing $24 million to attract and retain healthcare workers in Southern NSW by delivering more key health worker housing.
This investment is part of a broader $200.1 million Key Health Worker Accommodation program that is delivering housing for staff across NSW.
The community will continue to be updated about the redevelopment's progress with information available on the project website.
