The $3.7 million redevelopment of Nexus Primary Health’s Broadford Community Health Centre was completed in August 2020.

Funded via the Regional Health Infrastructure Fund, the project enables more community health services to be delivered to the rapidly growing Broadford community.

The redevelopment has increased consulting spaces from seven to 23. The spaces include purpose-built general practice treatment rooms, multi-use consulting rooms and larger paediatric consulting spaces for the delivery of paediatric allied health and counselling services.

The Victorian Government invested $3.17 million to upgrade the Barrabill House aged care facility in Seymour.

The 30-bed high care public sector residential aged care facility has been upgraded with a new 10-bed wing. The new wing includes 10 private rooms with ensuites, and new dining and lounge areas creating a homelike environment.

The redevelopment also includes a sensory garden and an outdoor pavilion, which can be used for general activities as well as a meeting place.

The project has increased bed numbers at Barrabill House from 30 to 40.
