Hospital Rebuild

The Rochester & Elmore District Health Service, Rochester facility was severely impacted by the October 2022 Rochester floods.

Whilst our facility is being rebuilt our full range of services, with the exception of Acute Care, continue to be provided from satellite locations in Rochester, Elmore, Tongala and Echuca.

Unfortunately during this time we are unable to accept new aged care residents or offer respite services.

Regrettably we have not been able to achieve all the commissioning requirements to support our residents safe return prior to Christmas. As such, we have to postpone our aged care residents return back to Rochester until the 6 January 2025.

That said, we are pleased to announce that our Urgent Care Centre will return to the REDHS hospital site on Thursday, 19 December. Opening hours will remain as current 8:30am -5:00pm, Monday to Friday for the time being.

Our service return dates to Rochester are:

• Aged Care – 6 January 2025
• Community Care (including Allied Health) – 13 January 2025
• Campaspe Medical Centre – late February 2025 (date to be confirmed)

Our Community Open Day is going ahead as planned for Saturday 14 December.

Thank you for your continued support and patience.

Mary Manescu, Chief Executive Officer
