The two-storey centre is now compete and will open its doors in the next few weeks.
Located on the Princes Highway, the facility offers stunning views of the coast and large floor to ceiling windows allow for plenty of natural light.
The centre features consulting rooms, a dental surgery, multipurpose meeting rooms, open work plan areas and breakout rooms.
The new building was constructed under the NSW Government's $100 million HealthOne program.
Member for South Coast, Shelley Hancock said it will reduce stress on Milton Hospital and become a "one-stop shop" for community health.
"It helps to reduce the risk and impact of disease and disability and avoidable admissions to hospital, as well as improve access to health services for all sections of the community," she said.
The Ulladulla HealthOne has been designed and built with a focus on environmental sustainability, including the use of solar panels, double glazed windows, automated air conditioning control and outlets for electric car chargers.
The plasterboard and carpet tiles are substantially made from recycled material.
The facility is being fitted-out inside and staff are being trained before opening to the public soon.
Staff from services which had been based at the former centre are looking forward to their teams being back together, after working out of various other locations in the area during the build.
The new HealthOne facility is being delivered as part of a state-wide HealthOne Program.
This is an integrated approach to primary and community health that will complement local services and bring together general practitioners, community health and other health professionals in multidisciplinary teams.
