Southern Redevelopment at SALHN - Stage 1
The Government has committed $474 million in funding towards the redevelopment of SALHN. The funding includes three separate initiatives:
- $400M State and Commonwealth Government joint funding agreement to upgrade and expand Flinders Medical Centre (FMC) (inclusive of complementary works at the Repat Health Precinct (RHP) and development of a full Business Case to support subsequent future investment in Southern Adelaide
- $36M State Election Commitment to deliver a new 24-bed Mental Health Rehabilitation Service at Noarlunga Hospital (as a component of the state’s +72 Metro Mental Health Beds; which includes The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (TQEH) and Modbury Hospital)
- $38M State Election Commitment to deliver an additional 24 new Inpatient Beds at Noarlunga Hospital.
The upgrades and new builds at Flinders Medical Centre, Noarlunga Hospital and Repat Health Precinct will provide southern suburbs’ residents with better access to vital healthcare, in turn improving patient flow and reducing pressure on the system.
