Vos is proud to win Flinders Island multi-purpose medical centre upgrade

The redevelopment of the Flinders Island Hospital is now underway.

Kurt Jones, Construction Manager of Vos Construction and Joinery Pty Ltd (‘Vos’), said it was an honour for Vos to be involved in such an important development.

The extensive redevelopment is anticipated to take 12 months and is worth in excess of $5.5 million. The re-development of the Flinders Island Multi-Purpose Centre is a staged construction, broken into four stages allowing the hospital to remain fully operational over the life of the project.

A new GP/Dental clinic will be built and a new wing to the existing hospital building (containing eight aged care rooms and ensuites) added prior to the demolition of the existing GP/Dental clinic and community room. New kitchen, laundry and administration facilities, community room, ambulance bay, drop off point and car park will be built on the site left by the removal of the existing clinic and community room.

The final stages cover refurbishment of the remaining existing building into new acute/palliative care rooms and new patient dining/lounge areas and the renovation of the main corridor and offices.

Up to thirty people will be employed onsite during the construction.

Mr Jones said that Vos team was looking forward to a successful project that benefits the Flinders Island Community.
