The new building in which the unit is located is called Jugarrbaajing, meaning

‘Unsettled mind’ was chosen by representatives of the Gimuy Walubara Yidinji traditional owner group.

At a cost of $83.4 million, the new facility features 53 beds, of which 10 are dedicated mental health intensive care beds. The first patients are expected to receive treatment in February.
