DELIVERING STRONGER HEALTH SERVICES FOR BACCHUS MARSH

The Victorian Government is ensuring people living in Bacchus Marsh and surrounds have access to the world-class care they deserve close to home.

Nearly 80 rural and regional hospitals, community health services and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations will share in $120 million from the Regional Health Infrastructure Fund (RHIF) – creating hundreds of jobs.

The program will deliver a variety of projects across regional Victoria including operating theatre refurbishments, new waiting rooms and hospital beds, accessible paths and ramps, additional consulting rooms, expansions projects and equipment upgrades. 

With 105 projects located across 40 rural and regional council areas across Victoria, the program is ensuring communities continue to be able to access high quality care from Cann River to Mildura.

$1,264,000 is being invested in Bacchus Marsh Hospital to replace the roof between the Maternity ward and v the Theatre.

With this latest round of RHIF projects the Government has now invested $490 million in more than 470 regional healthcare projects across the state - the largest program of its type in Victoria.
