Construction of the $20 million Batemans Bay Community Health facility is now complete, marking a major milestone in the delivery of modern healthcare for the Eurobodalla region.
The purpose-built community health facility will provide a range of integrated health services in the one location for Batemans Bay and surrounding communities.
The new Batemans Bay Community Health, delivered by the Minns Labor Government, will provide spaces for:
- Allied health services
- Child, youth and family services
- Women's health and sexual health services
- Community nursing and wound management
- Palliative care
- Aboriginal health services
- Mental health, alcohol and other drug services
- Specialist outpatient clinics
- Pathology collection services
Located close to the Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, the new community health facility will provide coordinated and convenient access to healthcare services in Batemans Bay.
The facility has been designed to complement the new $330 million Eurobodalla Regional Hospital at Moruya.
A comprehensive operational commissioning period is under way to ensure a safe and smooth transition into the new centre. This includes testing building systems, installing furniture and equipment, staff orientation and training, and other activities.
The Minns Labor Government is investing $11.9 billion to deliver more beds and expanded services across 32 new or upgraded health facilities in NSW as part of the 2026-27 budget. This includes nearly $3 billion over four years for hospitals across regional NSW.
