Construction of the structure for the new Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Unit at Nepean Hospital is now complete, marking a significant milestone for the project.
The purpose-built unit will transform mental health care for young people aged 12 to 17 years old across the region, which is being delivered as part of the NSW Government’s $700 million Statewide Mental Health Infrastructure Program.
Located on the Nepean Hospital campus, the new unit will be co-located with the Nepean Mental Health Unit, streamlining care for patients and their families and supporting seamless service delivery.
Designed in collaboration with young people, carers, and staff, the new CAMHS Unit will include:
The design aims to ensure young people feel supported, safe and comfortable during their stay in the Unit.
In the coming months, work will progress on the steel framing, installation of roofing and external cladding.
Construction is scheduled for completion in 2025, with the new unit to accept patients following an operational commissioning period.
In addition to the Nepean CAMHS, the NSW Government is investing $1 billion for the Nepean Hospital Redevelopment.
Construction of Stage 2, which includes a new 7-storey hospital building is progressing and expected to be completed in 2026.
