The new Batemans Bay Community Health facility, which will provide a sustainable, purpose-built community health service for the local community, is under construction.
The NSW Government is investing $20 million to deliver a range of community-based services in one location for the communities of Batemans Bay and surrounding areas.
The new, purpose-built facility will include:
- Allied health
- Child, youth and family services
- Women’s health
- Sexual health
- Community nursing and wound management
- Palliative care
- Aboriginal health
- Community mental health and, drug and alcohol
- Specialist outpatient clinics
- Pathology.
Built on the existing Batemans Bay Hospital site near the Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, it will deliver a modern health facility with more spaces to better support healthcare teams in providing enhanced care to the local community. It will include interview, consultation, and treatment rooms for a range of services, a gymnasium, as well as larger rooms that can accommodate groups and families and be used as education spaces.
The investment into community health in Batemans Bay builds on the $330 million new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital which will deliver an enhanced level of healthcare service and more beds than Moruya and Batemans Bay hospitals combined.
Monarch Building Solutions Pty Limited has been awarded the construction contract to deliver the new Batemans Bay Community Health facility following a competitive tender process. Site establishment works will commence in the coming weeks.
Construction of the new health facility is expected to be completed in 2026, followed by an operational commissioning stage to support staff moving into the new facility.
