The Victorian Government is asking Nillumbik residents to have their say on a proposed new Eltham area Community Hospital.
The government is investing $675 million to build 10 community hospitals in major growth areas such as Eltham.
The range of services offered at each hospital will be tailored for each community, with a strong focus on ensuring better integration of health and human services under one roof.
The Eltham area Community Hospital will be managed by Austin Health.
The Victorian Government wants to hear from you to help shape the new hospital and to understand what services are important.
Community members can provide feedback via an online Victorian Government survey at Participate Nillumbik. Go to https://participate.nillumbik.vic.gov.au/hospital
Nillumbik Mayor Karen Egan said this was an opportunity for residents to have their say about the services they would like delivered by a local community hospital and where they would like the new hospital situated.
“I urge residents to complete the survey and share their views on the future of health care in the area,” Cr Egan said.
The survey closes 4pm, Friday 11 October.
