Thomas Embling Forensic Hospital

The existing Thomas Embling Forensic Mental Hospital is a 136-bed secure forensic mental health hospital operated by Forensicare, opened in 2000. Guymer Bailey Architects was engaged for the expansion of the hospital, including a new Entrance Complex, a dedicated 34-bed Women’s unit, and a medium secure 38-bed Men’s unit. The expansion is to meet the future needs of the hospital, and respond to the requirements of the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System.
