Southern Redevelopment at SALHN - Stage 1

The Government has committed $572 million in funding towards the redevelopment of SALHN. The funding includes three separate initiatives:

$498M 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.
$74M State Election Commitment at Noarlunga Hospital to deliver a brand-new 24-bed Mental Health Rehabilitation Service (as a component of the state’s +72 Metro Mental Health Beds; which includes The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (TQEH) and Modbury Hospital) and a new additional 24-bed inpatient unit.

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.
