The Royal Melbourne Hospital – Mental Health Beds Expansion

The Victorian Government’s investment into the Mental Health Beds Expansion Program delivered 22 acute mental health beds at The Royal Melbourne Hospital.

The delivery of the project increased capacity, helping to reduce pressure on emergency departments and provide additional support for people experiencing mental illness who require immediate treatment.

The new 22-bed mental health facility at The Royal Melbourne Hospital now provides more than 8,000 days of care, enabling an estimated 488 more locals to access vital mental health services every year.
