Community Engagement

Daylesford Hospital has a long and distinguished record of serving the people of Daylesford and surrounding districts, however its facilities need to be upgraded to be able to continue to meet contemporary standards and community expectations. The hospital was opened in 1862 but since then a lot has changed, including the addition of a residential aged care facility and community health services, both of which have become increasingly important to our communities.

Central Highlands Rural Health wishes to engage the community on the development of a roadmap (or Masterplan) for the Daylesford campus. Our aim is to canvas opinions and seek ideas about plans to upgrade the Daylesford Hospital.

We are very grateful for the $100,000 that has been raised from the local community to undertake the preparation of a roadmap to the future. The Masterplan will include a physical assessment of the condition of the existing buildings and engineering infrastructure, a review of the services we have been providing, and those that might be important in the future.

We invite our community to ‘have your say’ via the following methods:
