The Victorian Government is investing $35.7 million to redevelop Swan Hill District Health’s emergency department.

This funding will enable Swan Hill District Health to upgrade the emergency department with a new high-quality clinical environment that reflects contemporary models of care.

Once completed, the new emergency department will provide shorter wait times by more than doubling the number of points of care. To meet future demand, a short stay unit will also be added.

This latest funding will bring the total investment in the project to $65.7 million with the federal government contributing $30 million.
