New Health and Education Services Coming to Riverstone Under Minns Labor Government
Two major announcements from the Minns Government are set to deliver much-needed services to the growing Riverstone community— marking a renewed focus on public infrastructure after years of neglect.
In health, the opening of the Quakers Hill Urgent Care Service is already improving access to timely, bulk-billed care.
Operating daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., the centre treats non-life-threatening but urgent conditions such as minor wounds, suspected fractures and infections. Staffed by experienced GPs and nurses with onsite radiology and pathology, it offers a vital alternative to overcrowded hospital emergency departments.
Patients can access the service via Healthdirect on 1800 022 222, where a nurse triages their condition and directs them to the appropriate care—whether that’s an in-person visit, telehealth, or escalation to emergency services.
This initiative is part of the Minns Labor Government’s broader commitment to rebuilding the state’s healthcare system, delivering accessible, community-based services and reducing pressure on hospitals.
In education, the Minns Government has announced a new public primary school and preschool for Grantham Farm, one of the fastest-growing suburbs in New South Wales.
Opening in Term 1 of 2028, the school will accommodate at least 500 students, with facilities including 24 classrooms, a library, multipurpose hall, canteen, and beforeand after-school care. A co-located public preschool will cater for up to 60 children per day, providing vital early learning close to home.
The new school will also become the future site of Vineyard Public School, ensuring students are not disrupted by nearby road infrastructure works. This project responds to years of underinvestment in school planning— where enrolments in areas like Schofields East tripled earlier projections—and reflects the Minns Labor Government’s determination to restore confidence in public education planning.
Together, these announcements represent real action on health and education. The Minns Labor Government is delivering for Riverstone, ensuring growing communities have the infrastructure, services, and support they need now and into the future.
