The 2019 Norfolk Island Health Service Plan (2019 Plan), which is now publicly available, updates the 2015 Plan and sets out a sustainable strategy for the development of health and aged care services on the Island. The 2019 Plan outlines the current status of health and aged care services and identifies the services, infrastructure, workforce and future clinical supports required to safely deliver appropriate quality health and aged care on the Island based on current and future demographics.

The Australian Government is delivering a new 16-bed residential aged care home for the Norfolk Island community.

The aged care home is one stage of the Norfolk Island Multipurpose Service (MPS) health facility project and will be constructed first, in recognition of community need.

To be located on the existing Norfolk Island Health and Residential Aged Care Service (NIHRACS) site, the new aged care home will allow for an expansion to the number of local aged care beds.
