First look inside Warrawong’s new community health centre

Key points

• Construction has finished on the Warrawong Community Health Centre, built on the former Port Kembla Hospital grounds in the Illawarra. Once it opens in the coming weeks, residents will be able to reach antenatal care, child health checks, sexual health testing, mental health counselling and drug and alcohol support in one place.
• The building includes landscaped spaces, an outdoor play area for children and local artwork chosen from submissions by regional creatives and students.
• NSW Health Minister Ryan Park described the milestone as important for community-based care, while local members of parliament highlighted the wider investment in regional facilities.
