Once complete, the new 30-bed mental health facility at Northern Hospital will provide more than 10,900 days of care, enabling 655 more locals to access vital mental health services every year. The Victorian Government is investing $492 million towards the delivery of 144 new acute public mental health beds across Victoria.
