Project Data
The Karadi Health Clinic, delivered in Goodwood, was a federally funded project supporting improved access to allied
health services for the Tasmanian Aboriginal community. The scope included construction of a single‑level, purpose‑built
health facility comprising seven consulting rooms, administration and reception areas, along with significant upgrades to
site access and car parking.
Delivered on a relatively greenfield site, the project totalled approximately 300m² of internal
floor area and 1,100m² of external works, providing a modern, functional clinic that has significantly improved the
service capacity and flexibility of the organisation.
Fairbrother’s delivery was characterised by strong site management, proactive coordination with the architect and
consultants, and a collaborative approach with the client. The project called for a high standard of finishes and drew
upon intricate services and architectural coordination, with the strong collaboration between the Fairbrother delivery
team, project consultants and the client, the project was delivered efficiently with minimal contract increases.
Importantly, Fairbrother’s disciplined delivery and site management helped the project achieve zero lost time injuries
across approximately 4,300 labour hours.
With relatively minor challenges through delivery, programme performance was addressed through early engagement
with stakeholders and pragmatic programme management. Fairbrother mitigated impacts to the overall delivery by
resequencing works where possible and maintaining open communication with the client and design team. The
completed facility now provides substantially improved clinical spaces that support a wide range of health services,
delivering lasting benefits to the local community.
