McKellar Mental Health and Wellbeing Centre
The Victorian Government’s investment into the Mental Health Beds Expansion Program has delivered 16 acute mental health beds at the McKellar Centre, Geelong.
The project aimed to increase capacity, reduce pressure on emergency departments and provide additional support for people experiencing mental illness who require immediate treatment.
The new 16-bed mental health facility at the McKellar Centre will provide more than 5,800 days of care, enabling an estimated 355 more Geelong locals to access vital mental health services every year.
