Works are now in full swing for the expansion of the Mala’la health clinic in Maningrida.

Expected to be complete by early 2026, this development will deliver more clinical rooms, a dedicated space for rheumatic heart disease, sealed parking and a staff training room.

These improvements will give residents better access to the care they need.

Maningrida is the Northern Territory’s largest remote community, home to around 3,500 people living in the town and surrounding homelands.

Mala’la clinic is also one of the NT’s busiest with more than 80,000 recorded client contacts in 2025. As the community continues to grow, so too does its health needs.

This expansion is a much needed investment in the future of health care in Maningrida.
