An important infrastructure upgrade at Peninsula Health is now complete.
Ingrid Stitt, Minister for Mental Health, announced the completion of a more than $1 million refurbishment and upgrade of nine community mental health residential units at Peninsula Health, to support consumer wellbeing and staff safety.
The investment has delivered a significant facelift to the 30-year-old community mental health residential units.
The investment includes essential upgrades to plumbing, electrical, roofing, and interior spaces, refreshing key facilities like the nursing office, recreational room, and doctor’s office to provide a therapeutic and safe working environment for staff and consumers on their recovery journey.
“By modernising our public mental health and alcohol and other drug infrastructure, we’re making sure Victorians experiencing mental health and substance use challenges can receive care in modern, safe and comfortable environments, said Ms Stitt. “Refurbished and upgraded community mental health units at Peninsula Health will ensure that locals can access the best possible residential facilities to support them on their recovery journey.”
