MEDICAL staff in Shepparton will have access to new, modern accommodation based at GV Health in Shepparton. A three-storey staff accommodation complex is under construction and aims to attract and retain medical professionals by providing purpose-built housing close to the hospital.
Once the keys are handed over, staff will benefit from 18-self-contained units, 15 single room flats and three double flats, and a direct and secure connection to the hospital to ensure safety for staff on call after hours.
The project was announced 12 months ago and has been supported by a $10.2M State Government grant from the Regional Health Infrastructure Fund (RHIF). Minister for Health Infrastructure visited the site last week to see how construction is progressing.
“We know that location can make it difficult for regional health services like Goulburn Valley Health to retain and attract new staff, that is why this project is critical to ensuring we can continue delivering world-class care for locals,” said Minister Horne.
The project is being delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority, alongside builder Hansen Yuncken. They commenced onsite in February 2025 and construction is scheduled to be completed in 2026.
