Extensive consultation with staff, carers, and the community has informed the design process, ensuring that it meets the needs of Broken Hill and the surrounding areas.

Construction is scheduled to begin early next year, and the redevelopment also includes an upgrade to the hospital’s Emergency Department.

Minister for Mental Health Rose Jackson said: “Safe and secure outside spaces are an important consideration in the design, with the availability of natural light and fresh air, as well as Indigenous influenced landscaping, contributing to a therapeutic and culturally safe environment for all people in our community.

“Internally, the unit will be used flexibly to care for a range of mental health consumers, including the most vulnerable and those with very high needs.”
