KEVIN Rudd will pledge a multi-million dollar health and sports science centre when he visits Tasmania, saying it will boost much-needed jobs in the north of the state.
The prime minister will be in Launceston on Tuesday to announce a $28 million contribution over four years towards a University of Tasmania's health and sports science training and research centre, if Labor wins the election.
He says the project will boost jobs in the state's north, and create 345 new jobs during construction.
Tasmania has the highest unemployment rate in Australia at 8.2 per cent.
"This is exactly the kind of shot in the arm northern Tasmanian needs," Mr Rudd says.
Once complete, an extra 700 health students, including those studying nursing and physiotherapy will be trained at the centre each year. There will also be an extra 70 teaching jobs.
Building work could start next year, but the $83.5 million project also needs money from the state government.
Mr Rudd will be campaigning in the seat of Bass, which Labor backbencher Geoff Lyons holds by 6.7 per cent.
He's facing a tough challenge from the Liberal Party's star candidate former army brigadier Andrew Nikolic.
