April 30th, 2023New operating theatre works in sight

Work is expected to start soon on the upgrade of Daylesford Hospital’s
operating theatre.
Central Highlands Rural Health received an additional $1.6 million in
contingency funds from the Victorian Health Building Authority this month to cover
significant increases in build and materials costs due to global supply shortages.

The contingency funds will add to the $4.5 million grant from the Regional
Health Infrastructure Fund for the upgrade, including an expanded operating theatre,
six patient recovery beds, toilets, staffroom, reception, waiting room, interview room
and offices.
