Southern Redevelopment at SALHN - Stage 1
The State and Commonwealth Government have committed $572 million as part of the Southern Redevelopment – Stage 1 program to support the growing demand for healthcare in the south.
A part of this funding, Flinders Medical Centre will undergo a major expansion and upgrade. This includes building a seven-storey Acute Services Building which will provide an additional 98 clinical spaces at Flinders Medical Centre.
The Acute Services Building will be built at the front of the existing Flinders Medical Centre Main Entrance.
The Northern Entrance at Flinders Medical Centre is the main hospital entrance for the duration of the construction works – until early 2028.
The patient pick up and drop off drive through is either:
- Immediate pick up and drop off via a drive through zone at the Northern Entrance; or
- The Care Park public car park, where you will be able to park for 30 minutes free. After 30 minutes standard parking fees will apply.
