Media summary

At Bendigo Community Health Services, we could not be more delighted with the work of EBD Architects and Dr Darragh O’Brien in the design of our new Eaglehawk site. The result has been outstanding. The facility has been designed with staff and community at the centre, creating a safe, functional and dignified environment that makes people feel valued. Our staff love working in the new building, and our community is proud to call it theirs.
The response has been extraordinary. Staff are thrilled with the improved working environment, and long-standing clients are amazed that their community now has such a beautiful and welcoming space. The building has created a real buzz: it is warm, safe, and uplifting.
We are deeply grateful for EBD’s thoughtful design and project leadership, which has delivered far more than a building, it has created a home for community health that will serve Eaglehawk for generations.

"From the very beginning, the team took the time to listen. This consultation ensured the design truly reflects the services our community requires, now and into the future.
Throughout the build, communication was open, transparent and professional. EBD’s calm confidence and ethical approach with the builders gave BCHS absolute assurance at every step. 
The result has been outstanding. The facility has been designed with staff and community at the centre, creating a safe, functional and dignified environment that makes people feel valued. Our staff love working in the new building, and our community is proud to call it theirs."
