Daily Advertiser: Wagga's Pro Patria Centre counts down to completion date as major renovations begin

The clock is finally ticking towards the completion of a much-needed veterans treatment centre in Wagga.

The Pro Patria Centre, located at the former Carmelite Monastery in Ashmont, could be up and running in as little as four weeks after council approved building renovations on the site late last week.

Pro Patria Centre board secretary Alan Lean said when complete, the facility will house a wide range of tenants, including doctors, psychologists, welfare support services and more.

"[It will be] a multi-directional holistic treatment centre for a whole range of existing [health] problems that veterans and first responders [suffer from]," he said.
