Australia builds 24-unit housing complex for Launceston General Hospital health workers

The space features 20 two-bedroom units and a private courtyard.

Australia has introduced a 24-unit housing complex for health workers at the Launceston General Hospital in Northern Tasmania.

The complex features 20 two-bedroom spaces, four one-bedroom units, an accessible bathroom and laundry facility, and a private courtyard.

According to Minister for Housing and Planning, Felix Ellis, this initiative aims to attract and retain more workers to the hospital.

“Providing these health workers affordable accommodation is crucial to supporting our frontline services, but also allows previously used rentals to be released back into the private market for Tasmanian families,” Ellis said.

“Under our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future, we are committed to delivering more key worker accommodation to grow Tasmanian frontline services,” he added.
