It’s so awesome seeing my images on display at this scale and being used to brighten a patient’s day. If you would like to see some of my other local images on display, all while checking out this awesome new facility, be sure to go along to the open day 👍🏻
We recently welcomed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders to take a first look through the new Adult Inpatient Mental Health Unit at Rockhampton Hospital ahead of its opening.
It was a valuable opportunity to come together and listen to ideas about how we can make the space even more welcoming and culturally safe.
Elders shared positive feedback about the facility, the connection to Country reflected in the artwork, and the family-friendly spaces designed to support connection and healing.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to join us and share your knowledge, experiences and ideas.
We look forward to continuing the conversation through future yarning sessions as we work together to support better mental health outcomes for our communities.
Would you like to see the new Adult Inpatient Mental Health Unit too? Drop in between 9am to 12pm this Saturday for a rare chance to look inside a purpose-built mental health facility before it officially opens.
