Kane Constructions was appointed in mid-2018 to deliver the $21 million Barwon Health North under a Construct Only contract.
The Barwon Health North facility provides a state-of-the-art flexible medical facility to meet the growing needs of the community. The development offers an innovative, integrated, community-based ambulatory care service model, catering to a diverse range of patient cohorts.
Barwon Health North delivers a hybrid of specialist care services, including women's and children's health clinics, treatment for non-emergency illnesses and injuries, renal dialysis, and after-hours care, such as GP and urgent care services. Additionally, the facility houses specialist outpatient services and clinical support services, including medical imaging, pathology, and pharmacy.
The urgent care centre at Barwon Health North significantly reduced the demand on the emergency department at University Hospital Geelong. The facility included medical imaging capabilities such as x-ray and CT scanning, a pathology centre with collection and analysis rooms, and a pharmacy.
This project reached Practical Completion in mid-2019, with services commencing in early 2020.
