Help shape your hospital
The state government is calling on the community to contribute to the vision of a new community hospital for Fishermans Bend.
Minister for Health Jenny Mikakos announced on February 28 that Southern Metropolitan MP Nina Taylor will chair a Fishermans Bend community consultation committee, giving the community a say over the hospital’s future.
The government is investing $675 million to build and upgrade 10 new community hospitals close to major growth areas with Fishermans Bend being one of the recipients.
Community consultation committees are being established so carers, patients, families and volunteers can work with health service providers to ensure each hospital meets the particular needs of locals.
