Construction Begins on New Health Centres in Australia: Warrawong, South Tuggeranong

Construction has begun on the South Tuggeranong Health Centre in Conder, Canberra, marking the first of four new health centers planned for the ACT. The $16.4 million facility, designed with input from clinicians and the local community, will enhance healthcare access for residents in Canberra’s south by offering services such as paediatrics, pathology, dementia care, diabetes clinics, falls prevention, chronic disease programs, and a virtual care room. The health centre will feature 11 consultation rooms and a flexible layout to accommodate multidisciplinary care, with a focus on preventive care, early intervention, and chronic illness management. Supported telehealth appointments aim to reduce hospital visits and travel to other community sites. Construction is expected to be completed in August 2026, with operations beginning in September of that year. Three additional health centers are in the planning stages for other ACT regions.
