Our History

Our Building

Murray Valley Private Hospital operates within the former Clyde Cameron Training College building located on the corner of Nordsvan Drive and Pearce Street in Wodonga.

The building was built by the Federal Government in 1977 as Australia’s first residential trade union college, and the first of its kind in the world. Its name honoured the Minister for Labor and Immigration in the Whitlam Government and was built at a cost of $6.5 million.

The college was designed by a Melbourne architect, Kevin Borlan and constructed by Costain and A.B. and M.A. Chick. The unusual architecture and internal arrangements display the tradesmen’s skills.

Trade union training ceased at the college on 30 June 1996.

Murray Valley Private Hospital is Heritage Listed.
