Project - Dongara Health Centre
The redevelopment of the Dongara Health Centre commenced in mid-2021.
Project overview
The redevelopment of the Dongara Health Centre is underway, focusing on the provision of primary health initiatives that keep people well, in the community and out of hospital through:
- promotion of good health
- prevention and early detection of illness and
- management of chronic disease.
The Dongara Health Centre is being developed in consultation with the local community through a Consumer Reference Group to provide access to a range of health services and providers under one roof.
The redesign will upgrade existing facilities and allow for more efficient and improved connection between all clinical departments and administration.
The Dongara Health Centre will include:
- a contemporary emergency department
- Emergency Telehealth Service videoconferencing facilities
- group therapy rooms
- allied health consultation rooms and treatment spaces
- multi-purpose consult rooms enabled with telehealth
- an ambulance bay
- six additional aged care beds
- new palliative care room and
- support and communal areas.
The tender process is now complete with the contractor commencing work on site early from August 2021.
