The North Gungahlin Health Centre is one of four new health centres the ACT Government has committed to building across the Territory.

The centre will be along Kingsland Parade in Casey.

We are asking the community what services they would like to see available at this new health centre.

The new health centre in North Gungahlin will offer community-based services that are closer to home. It will also help support the delivery of other community services to support the changing health needs of the Gungahlin community.

Consultation is now open and you can have YourSay until 8 August 2024.

A greenfield site in Casey has been chosen as the preferred site for the new health centre in North Gungahlin.

It will be located along Kingsland Parade.

In 2022, ACT Health ran a series of community engagements to better understand what Canberrans want and need from public health services across the ACT.

The community engagement included multiple opportunities for the community to provide feedback on numerous elements of ACT health care services.

We heard that people want better access to:

We heard that most of the community are happy to receive health care wherever it is recommended to best suit their health issue, and many wanted to receive care close to home and at a centre in the community.

When we asked you to rank your top factors that influence your decision about where to access health services, you said:

We heard that most people said they strongly felt that there should be a mix of services at each health centre in the community.

To find out more about the outcomes from this consultation visit the Accessing Health Care YourSay page.

We will use your feedback to help finalise what services will be located at the health centre.

We will also be working with clinicians and consumers while using local health data to help this process.

Once the detailed design of the health centre is complete, it will move into the development application stage. This is expected in 2025.
