The Victorian Government is calling on northern Victorian health services to enter submissions for the latest round of the Regional Health Infrastructure Fund.

The fund provides government funding to rural and regional health services and agencies across Victoria so these services can continue to provide safe and efficient care.

RHIF delivers a variety of projects, including theatre refurbishments, new waiting rooms and hospital beds, accessible paths and ramps, additional consulting rooms, expansion projects and equipment upgrades.

RHIF has funded 630 projects — the largest investment ever dedicated to Victoria’s rural and regional health services.

“We’re giving our rural and regional health services the best facilities and the latest equipment so their hard-working staff can continue to provide the very best health care to local communities,” Victorian Health Infrastructure Minister Mary-Anne Thomas said.

Submissions for the latest round of funding close on September 11.
