Anthony Albanese will invest in a new $300m medical centre in Adelaide, as the Prime Minister intensifies his attacks on Peter Dutton over Medicare.

Mr Albanese will on Tuesday announce a $150m investment to fund the Flinders HealthCARE Centre in Adelaide’s south, continuing health as a key focus of his campaign.

The cash injection will be matched by Flinders University and will facilitate the training of more than 1300 health workers, including more than 490 nurses, 250 social workers and 128 occupational therapists and speech pathologists.

The 10-storey facility at the Flinders Health Precinct in Bedford Park will be able to treat 100 patients simultaneously.

Mr Albanese said the announcement built on his government’s commitment to provide affordable, high quality health care for South Australians.

“If re-elected, Labor will invest $150m in a new state-of-the-art health service for Adelaide’s south, with the Flinders HealthCARE Centre,” the Prime Minister said.

“This will open up 10,000 health appointments and see up to 1300 health professionals graduate each year.

“Only Labor is strengthening Medicare, with the largest ever investment in more than 40 years.

“This means more free trips to the doctor, cheaper medicines and more Urgent Care Clinics – where all you need is your Medicare card, not your credit card.”

Federal Labor has announced a string of health-related policies, including limiting the cost of PBS medications at $25.
