12 May 2025

Flinders University‘s  New HealthCARE Centre building means it can produce an additional 1,300 work-ready graduates each year.

Flinders University will embark on a new state-of-the-art health service for South Adelaide: the Flinders HealthCARE Centre.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced a $150-million contribution to support the construction of the new 10-storey facility in the Flinders Health Precinct in Bedford Park that will provide locals with 10,000 health appointments and see 1,300 health professionals graduate each year.

The coalition has also confirmed that it will honour the $150-million investment for the centre if elected.

The $150-million capital investment will be matched by Flinders University to fund the construction of the Flinders HealthCARE Centre, featuring three floors of state-of-the-art clinical space that will allow health care professionals to treat 100 patients simultaneously.

Research and training facilities at the centre will mean Flinders University can produce an additional 1,300 work-ready graduates each year:

  • more than 490 nurses
  • 250 social workers
  • 128 occupational therapists and speech pathologists
  • 101 paramedics
  • 60 physiotherapists
  • More than 50 midwives
  • 24 clinical psychologists
  • 180 other allied health professionals

Design and development is expected to begin later this year, with Flinders University targeting construction to start in 2027.
