Step Up Step Down Facility Officially Opened

A new Step Up Step Down Mental Health Service opened in Gladstone last week, providing much needed mental health support to the region’s residents.  

CQ Health Chief Executive, Steve Williamson said the service will be run in partnership between CQ Health and speciality community mental health service provider Mind Australia.  The facility located in New Auckland will provide short-term sub-acute residential services in the community with a real focus on recovery. “It will help people who are becoming unwell, and also those in the early stages of recovery who need support after a mental health unit admission,” Mr Williamson said.
