Progress has continued at Rural Northwest Health’s (RNH) Dimboola Road property, which will provide important workforce accommodation for visiting medical officers once complete. Development on the property is expected to be complete in the next three to four months.
Solar panels are also being installed at RNH’s Warracknabeal campus. Supported by the Victorian Department of Health, the project will significantly expand RNH’s onsite solar capacity and is another practical step towards improving the energy efficiency of its facilities.
Ms O’Callaghan said these projects show RNH’s commitment to investing in the long-term future of the health service.
“The Dimboola Road accommodation will help us attract and retain our workforce, while alleviating pressure on local housing supply. It’s been wonderful to have local builders partner with RNH to bring this accommodation to life.”
“The solar installation at Warracknabeal is a practical step towards a more sustainable, energy-efficient future for RNH.”
“We are proud to be investing in the long-term future of RNH. We will continue to look for ways to improve our ability to attract and retain quality staff and to reduce our impact on the environment.”
