The building was recently awarded Silver in the Construction Category at the World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics World Congress in San Sebastian, Spain.

Robina will be Wise Medical’s second clinic (the first in Macquarie Park, NSW). These clinics were established to provide a greater choice for patients on how they access emergency medical treatment, without the patient having to visit a hospital.
