Flinders Street Community Health Hub

Location 244 Flinders Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000, Australia

Construction of Flinders Street Health at 244 Flinders Street Melbourne was completed in October 2026.

Operated by cohealth, Flinders Street Health offers primary health and wrap around services, an outreach program, and a care coordination model to connect people with the care and support they need.

It will connect people in the CBD to vital health care and social supports, with dedicated teams providing practical assistance and coordinated care for those who need it most.

  • saving lives and reducing drug-related harms
  • expanding access to health-led, compassionate services across the CBD, suburbs and regional communities
  • improving services in areas where access to care has been limited.

TO CARE IN MELBOURNE CBD

The Community Health Hub is a central, purpose-built space where people with complex health needs can easily access the care and support they require.

We transformed the interior of the building to create a safe, modern and welcoming Community Health Hub, featuring:

  • Clinical spaces and healthcare consultation rooms for treatment and support services.
  • A drop-in zone with kitchen space, laundry facilities, showers and toilets to support the wellbeing of vulnerable community members.

Better access to care: The Community Health Hub will be a welcoming place for people to access health, social and treatment services.

Health-led approach: Treating drug harm as a health issue with compassionate, coordinated support.

Reduced pressure on emergency services: Helping people before they reach crisis point.

Safer communities: Outreach and harm reduction initiatives that improve public health and local amenity.

This project was delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority in partnership with:

  • cohealth
  • Department of Health
  • Lyons Architecture
  • Lendlease.
