GV Health and the Victorian Government today announced $10 million in new grant funding to support the delivery of 18 new apartments for staff accommodation.
The accommodation will be at GV Health’s main campus in Shepparton, funded by the Victorian Government’s Regional Health Infrastructure Fund.
We welcomed Minister for Health, Mary-Anne Thomas MP on-site at the chosen location, together with GV Health Board Chair, Board Directors and Executives.
The project will deliver 18 safe, comfortable, environmentally sustainable dwellings comprising 21 bedrooms, access to outdoor landscaped areas, and direct access to the GV Health Graham Street campus.
Once complete, the dwellings will be made available to key medical workers at GV Health, with delivery targeted for April 2026.
GV Health Chief Executive Matt Sharp said the announcement is a game-changer for our community, delivering 18 modern apartments for locum doctors, registrars and other vital on-call medical staff.
“GV Health is pursuing a comprehensive plan for sustainable accommodation to support its growing workforce, and attract exceptional healthcare professionals to the region.”
“We are looking at all options to attract great candidates to fill around 550 staff vacancies at GV Health, and delivering more accommodation is a crucial piece of the puzzle,” said Mr Sharp.
