Diamond Harbour & Districts Health Support Group

We are a community charity that built and owns the building which has been used to provide community health services for Diamond Harbour and the surrounding district for over 30 years. 

In response to an obvious and urgent need, on 23 November 1991 an astonishing feat was achieved in our community. The structure of the Diamond Harbour Medical Centre was constructed in 24 hours with volunteer labour by persons who were all over 60 years of age.

The project was funded with an average $100 donation from 92% of households approached and a $30,000 loan from the Banks Peninsula District Council. Since then the Medical Centre has enabled the provision of health services that goes “above and beyond” to meet the medical needs of the Diamond Harbour and Districts community.

​

The Medical Centre is now 30 years old. The building lacks many features that are required of a modern facility that serves a growing community. The Medical Centre building needs to be extended, modernised, and updated.

We are calling once again on the support of those within our community to help us reach our funding goal and make this become a reality.
