On Wednesday 23 June, the redevelopment team met with over 15 representatives from the local Aboriginal community for an initial Walk on Country and Design Jam. This important event ensures the new facility responds to the needs of the community and creates a place of healing and wellbeing for all. Additional Walk on Country and Design Jam events will be organised over the coming months.
Aboriginal consultation will help shape the planning of the new hospital by informing and reviewing aspects of the project. An example is recognition of birthing on country which will now see the Maternity Unit of the new Eurobodalla Health Service situated on the Ground Floor.
