GCUH Secure Mental Health - $1.7m (Watpac)
The Secure Mental Health Unit upgrade project at Gold Coast University Hospital involved specialised infrastructure works supporting secure mental health services within a major tertiary healthcare facility in Queensland. The project was delivered by BESIX Watpac under a construction package valued at approximately $1.7 million, focusing on improving patient safety environments, supervision areas, and clinical support spaces. The works enhanced secure treatment infrastructure within a controlled hospital setting. These upgrades align with infrastructure development initiatives by Queensland Health to strengthen specialised mental health service capacity.
