Construction is now underway on the new Launceston Hospice, marking a major milestone in the delivery of a dedicated, purpose-built hospice facility for Northern Tasmania.
Local contractor VOS Construction & Joinery has been appointed to deliver the project, which will transform the Allambi Building within the Launceston General Hospital precinct into a purpose-built hospice and hospice respite facility.
The project represents an important investment in specialist palliative care infrastructure and has been shaped through extensive planning, collaboration and community engagement.
Funded through a $20 million Australian Government investment, the new Launceston Hospice will provide 12 inpatient beds and offer specialist care and support for people living with life-limiting conditions, along with their families and carers.
