We’re building a new 32-bed state-of-the-art mental health facility at Rockhampton Hospital. It will provide high quality treatment and care to more consumers in Rockhampton and surrounding areas experiencing mental illness.
The $92 million project includes a new building with:
- 9 additional beds
- high and low dependency units
- therapy spaces
- administrative support spaces
- safety and layout features for the wellbeing of consumers and staff.
The project also includes:
- Refurbishment of the existing building for administration space
- New undercover parking
The project is part of the Queensland Health Big Build. Queensland Health will deliver the Queensland Health and Hospitals Plan. The department leads the tendering and contracting of building contractors and consultants of all major health projects.
