This is one Border project that federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon has supported, to the tune of $6.5 million.

Wodonga was one of 36 locations approved by Ms Roxon in 2007, though only a handful of clinics are up and running.

General practitioners, specialists, dentists, pharmacists, podiatrists, dietitians, psychologists and social workers will all be under the same roof.

The $10 million clinic on the old Mylon bus depot site in High Street is planned by a not-for-profit group and will link to Gateway Health next door.

Although the super clinic isn’t the same concept as Albury’s privately owned Gardens Medical Centre, there are similarities.

New facilities should also attract more professionals to work on the Border and help the training of students.

All this comes at a cost and patients won’t want to see their bills rise unduly.

Bulk-billing, for instance, is practised by too few GPs and allied health practitioners in Albury or Wodonga.

If more did so, or reduced the gap between their fee and the Medicare sum, that really would be super.
