Project Description
The Orygen Youth Health Centre in Victoria underwent a two-stage facility upgrade from 2019 to 2020 with the primary goal of creating a safer experience for patients and staff. The upgrade included the addition of four new inpatient mental health beds and the enhancement of living and private treatment spaces.
To achieve a warm and inviting environment while adhering to strict high-level security and safety standards, Galvin Engineering products were incorporated into the design. Our anti-ligature and anti-vandal products enable staff to control water flow, prevent self-harm, and vandalism. The products applied were carefully chosen to ensure a domestic appearance that would help normalise the healthcare space and improve rehabilitation times.
