This project involved the staged refurbishment of the existing YPARC facility in Frankston to improve comfort, safety and therapeutic outcomes for young people accessing mental health support. Works were carefully planned and delivered in stages to minimise disruption to residents and staff. Upgrades included improvements to bedrooms and shared spaces, the creation of a new family room, and the addition of a sensory garden to enhance outdoor engagement and recovery.
Key Highlights:
- Focused on improving health, wellbeing and developmental outcomes

- Staged delivery approach to ensure continuity of care throughout the works
- Designed to support the recovery-focused model of care used across Victoria’s YPARC network
