Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said the new centre, located on the south-east corner of the hospital site will bring together a range of community health services within one purpose-built facility.
“I’m excited we’re taking the first steps towards building this new facility which will meet the needs of the Illawarra community now and into the future,” Mr Park said.
“Warrawong Community Health Centre will deliver a community-focused health service by co-locating services from Port Kembla Hospital and across the District into one single hub, making it much simpler for patients accessing healthcare.
“The new centre has been designed with the best clinical practices in mind as well as ensuring the layout and flow is easy for staff and patients to navigate.”
Member for Wollongong Paul Scully said the Warrawong Community Health Centre will be a vital boost to healthcare services for the local community.
“I’ve advocated for the new Warrawong Community Health Centre for a very long time so it’s fantastic to see progress,” Mr Scully said.
“This facility is incredibly vital to our community, making it so much easier for people to access a wide range of health services in one location.
“It’s important to have a place like the Warrawong Community Health Centre where multiple health services will now be in the same place.
