The Thomas Embling Hospital is a secure forensic mental health hospital, providing care and treatment for people living with a serious mental illness in, or at risk of entering, the justice system. The project responds to key recommendations from the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System.
With significant growth in forensic patients and increasing demand for mental health beds and facilities in the justice system, the project will ensure that Victorians most at risk can access mental health services in a secure, contemporary and recovery-focused environment.
Stages 1 and 2 of the expansion project will deliver a dedicated 34-bed women’s precinct, a 48-bed medium security men’s facility, a new entry complex, onsite carpark and clinical administration facilities.
Construction of the Thomas Embling Hospital expansion began in 2022 and main works are due for completion in 2024/2025.
