General Information
During June 1940 the South Australian government agreed to build a new Army hospital, that would after hostilities ceased be a repatriation hospital. Using wartime emergency powers, Cudmore House and 14 adjacent hectares was obtained and used as a temporary HQ. Building work commenced in January 1942 with the site formally handed over to the Army. A month later its first patient was admitted wit tents an temporary huts used. The last tent was removed in late 1944 with all patients then in completed buildings.
The facility was used as a repatriation hospital post war until the Commonwealth government divested itself of all repatriation hospitals in the mid 1990s. Taken over b the SA government, they closed it in November 2017
