Reactivating the Repat
We are Reactivating the Repat and returning the site to a thriving health precinct:
- Re-opened the hydrotherapy pool.
- Secured 40 beds that are already operating – 20 beds currently in rehabilitation building (to be relocated to new 26 bed transition care facility) and 20 beds kept open in the VITA Precinct (originally planned for closure by the end of 2018).
- Developing a 78 bed Dementia Care Facility in partnership with HammondCare, including 2 x 9 bed Specialist Dementia Care Units and 4 x 15 bed cottages.
- Redeveloping a ward to create an 18 bed Neurobehavioural Unit to care for people living with dementia, whose behavioural and psychological symptoms mean their needs can’t be met in mainstream residential care.
- Redeveloping a 12 bed specialist ward for people with dementia and complex care needs.
- Building a 26 bed care transition facility for people with dementia and those transitioning to home or an aged care facility following acute care treatment.
- Creating a state-of-the-art 28 bed brain injury ward and a 25 bed spinal cord rehabilitation ward.
- Establishing a Veterans' Wellbeing Centre and refurbishing the SPF Hall.
- Developing a town square community hub and open outdoor flexible space in the heart of the Repat, including a new wheelchair training and sports gymnasium.
- A new home for the Southern Older Persons Community Mental Health Service.
- Building a new facility for Statewide Eating Disorder Services, including a residential facility.
We are also ensuring the Repat Chapel, Remembrance Gardens, Museum and SPF Hall will be protected and preserved as community assets for future generations.
