Project Description
The Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit project in South Australia is a significant initiative aimed at improving access to mental health services. As part of this commitment, the South Australian Government has announced the construction of three 24-bed mental health facilities at Noarlunga, Modbury, and Queen Elizabeth Hospitals, providing a total of 72 new mental health rehabilitation beds.
The Noarlunga Hospital Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit will offer a range of facilities to support patients. In addition to 24 single bedrooms, the unit will include consultation and treatment rooms, as well as assisted daily living amenities such as a domestic kitchen, lounge areas, and a gymnasium. Patients will also have access to landscaped courtyards, enhancing their therapeutic experience.
The project’s objectives are centered around delivering a high-quality development that meets legal requirements and complies with relevant guidelines and regulations. Emphasizing architectural and urban design excellence, the project aims to optimize the amenity and safety of both residents and staff while minimizing waste and running costs through a durable, low-maintenance building. Passive design features will be prioritized, and occupational health and safety standards will be maintained throughout the construction process.
