The Carroll Labor Government is bringing more workers to Eildon, with six new homes ready for workers in healthcare, hospitality and education.

Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes, representing Minister for Rural and Regional Development Michaela Settle, today officially opened the new accommodation.

Funded through the Regional Worker Accommodation Fund, the six units will help local businesses and essential services attract and retain workers.

The homes are the first of 12 being delivered across two sites in Eildon, providing accommodation for up to 33 workers.

The first six units are ready for tenants ahead of the busy summer season, helping local businesses fill jobs and support more visitors.

Located close to shops, services and recreation facilities, the new homes will help workers settle into the local community.

Built by regional construction company Millbuilt Pty Ltd, the units use modular construction to deliver housing faster and more efficiently.

The project has also supported regional construction jobs, with another six modular homes to be installed at a second site.

All 12 units are expected to be completed in 2027, providing more housing for workers and easing pressure on Eildon's rental market.

The Regional Worker Accommodation Fund has helped unlock more than $300 million in private investment to deliver housing for thousands of workers across regional Victoria.

The Eildon project builds on new worker accommodation in Shepparton and Wangaratta, with more projects underway across the Hume region.

The fund is part of the Carroll Labor Government's more than $50 billion investment in regional Victoria over the past decade, supporting local jobs, housing and stronger communities.
