Construction of the new $330 million Eurobodalla Regional Hospital is on track, with the first concrete pour complete.
The new concrete slab forms part of the lower ground floor of the north-western corner of the hospital which will include the first paediatric department in the region and a contemporary maternity unit, supporting high-quality, patient-centred care.
The new maternity department has been designed with extensive input from staff and the community, and will offer a calming, modern and culturally safe environment for women and families.
The new paediatric department will complement other new services such as an intensive care unit and an MRI, enabling the hospital to provide comprehensive care for newborns, infants, and children.
The new Eurobodalla hospital will be established as a Level 4 health facility and be bigger than the existing hospitals at Moruya and Batemans Bay combined. It will deliver an increase in bed numbers and capacity, providing the local community with an enhanced range of health services than currently available at either hospital.
To support future access to the new hospital’s site entrance, work to deliver a new roundabout on the Princes Highway will shortly begin, with construction expected to start next month.
