The Milton Ulladulla community has been given the first look at the latest designs for the $7.5 million hospital upgrade.
The Minns Labor Government is investing $7.5 million to deliver improved health infrastructure at Milton Ulladulla Hospital to meet the current and future healthcare needs of the local community.
The hospital upgrade includes a new CT scanner and updated medical imaging spaces which will provide enhanced diagnostic capabilities.
The community is invited to find out more about the project and view the detailed designs by visiting Milton Ulladulla Hopsital upgrades.
Construction of the upgraded medical imaging space and installation of the new CT scanner is expected to start mid-2025, following the appointment of a building contractor.
Planning for the proposed expansion of the Cancer Care Centre is ongoing, and the community will be kept informed and consulted as the project progresses.
The Minns Labor Government is also investing $438 million for the Shoalhaven Hospital Redevelopment, making it the health hub for the Shoalhaven region, and reducing the need to transfer patients to Wollongong and Sydney.
Additionally, more than $780 million is being invested in the new Shellharbour Hospital and Integrated Services Project, which will provide additional health services for Shoalhaven residents to access.
