In anticipation of the eagerly anticipated move into the Sunshine Mental Health and Wellbeing Centre on Thursday, I am pleased to share a virtual tour of this state-of-the-art facility.
In this video you will hear from some of our Mental Health and Wellbeing Services team, as well as one of the architects and an arts curator about co-designing a recovery-orientated environment. They represent a much larger group of staff across Western Health and partner organisations who have shown enormous dedication, care and passion to deliver improved mental health and wellbeing services for our communities.
Groups of staff have had the opportunity to attend ‘look and see’ tours in recent weeks as they prepare to work in the facility, and I recently had the pleasure of welcoming Premier Jacinta Allen and Minister for Mental Health Ingrid Stitt for a tour. Visitors and staff alike have remarked on the incredible advancements within the new facility to provide a welcoming and responsive environment for consumers and staff.
As construction progressed over the past two years, I know many of you have been watching with interest as the modular build emerged along the internal ring road at the rear of the Sunshine site. It’s a pleasure to now invite you to join me on this virtual tour and see some of the key spaces within the site. Due to the scale and detail of the build, the video is almost 7 minutes long but it’s well worth a look.
I’m sure you’ll agree that the Sunshine Mental Health and Wellbeing Centre will enable Western Health to provide Best Care to our consumers when they need acute mental health treatment and care.
Further information about the facility and our Mental Health and Wellbeing Services division is available via Westerly.
