Victorian Minister for Disability, Ageing and Carers Anthony Carbines unveiled a first look at the $57.11 million project, which involves moving Glenview Community Care Nursing Home to a new site at 33-45 Main Street.

With funding announced ahead of the State Budget last year, work will start on site later this year with the project done by mid-2025.

Mr Carbines said Victoria was upgrading its care services to provide modern, purpose-built facilities.

"The new facilities in Rutherglen will meet a range of complex care needs - meaning locals won't have to move away to access care and can stay connected to family and community," he said.

Indigo North Health chief executive Shane Kirk welcomed the progress.

"We're thrilled and excited!" he said.

"It's a massive project and certainly the infrastructure going into the building is going to be state-of-the-art, totally electric, with extensive gardens and will have all of our services on site."

The bigger site will expand the centre from 40 to 50 beds and give residents their own rooms with en suites.

It will have a community room, sacred space, common areas and health services.
