“It is terrific to see this project moving to the next phase, bringing the community one step closer to receiving important community-based health services within a new, purpose-built facility.
“Having services including child and family health, Aboriginal maternal infant health services and drug and alcohol services all under the one roof will enhance accessibility and support the health needs of the local community.”
The new Warrawong Community Health Centre will provide:
- Child and family health services
- Binji and Boori (Aboriginal Maternal Infant Health Service)
- Community nursing
- Community mental health
- Sexual health service
- Drug and alcohol services

With the contract awarded, next steps involve finalising the design of the new Centre before construction commences in the coming months.

Construction of the community health centre is expected to be completed in 2026.
