major milestone for mental health

Enhanced mental health care is just around the corner for Tamworth thanks to a major construction milestone, with the three-storey building structure of the new unit now complete.

The elevated, modern unit includes a new bridge which will provide a direct connection between the inpatient floor of the new facility and the Tamworth Hospital building.

The 23-metre-long bridge was built off-site, assembled at the hospital campus and craned into position in three sections. Once operational, it will make it safer and easier for people to receive enhanced, integrated care.

With structural works complete the project team will continue the internal fit-out, services installation and exterior works.

Construction is on track for completion by the end of the year, with staff expected to move in early in 2026.
