Consultation is now open for Canberrans to have their say on the new health centre in South Tuggeranong.
The ACT Government has launched a YourSay survey to gather feedback and insights from the community on what services they would like included in the new South Tuggeranong Health Centre.
Minister for Health Rachel Stephen-Smith said there will be an opportunity to provide input online and through a series of face-to-face sessions in the coming weeks.
"The new health centre in South Tuggeranong is an example of the ACT Government's commitment to delivering more health services, closer to home.
"This centre will provide the people of South Tuggeranong with access to multidisciplinary services to treat a range of conditions. We are now working with the local community to identify the specific services they would like to include.
"Listening to consumers and the wider community is key in delivering services and infrastructure that meets the needs of our growing city. We have seen the great results of strong community engagement in the design of the Critical Services Building at Canberra Hospital and hope to achieve the same result with the new health centre," said Minister Stephen-Smith.
Feedback received from consumers and the local community will help to inform the clinical services and design of the centre.
A greenfield site near Lanyon Marketplace in Conder has been chosen as the site for the twelve-room health centre.
The South Tuggeranong Health Centre is the first of four new health centres, with another three centres coming to the Inner South, North Gungahlin, and West Belconnen. The local community will have the opportunity to have their say on these new health centres in 2024.
