Frankston Hospital redevelopment - Newsletter #2 | July 2023

Submitted by bonnie.ho@heal… on
Body Text

Welcome to our winter project newsletter!

In this edition, we update you on what has been happening on the site. You'll also meet some of the locals helping to deliver the Frankston Hospital redevelopment and find out more about the project’s workforce development and social procurement programs.

The redevelopment site was transformed in the first half of 2023, with two tower cranes now lighting up the Frankston skyline at night. These lights are essential for the safety of the emergency response helicopters that use the hospital’s helipad to transport critically ill patients.

You may have noticed more trucks coming and going from the site as we excavate the basement of the new 12-storey clinical services tower. We’ve already removed more than 50,000 cubic metres of soil from the basement and foundations. Our street sweepers are working hard to help keep the local road clean around the site and will continue to do so throughout construction.

Across the road, we’ve improved access to the Victoria Park dog off-lead area with a new path near our project offices next to the Croquet Club.

Coming up in 2023

  • two more tower cranes to be delivered and installed onsite
  • inground services installation to continue
  • concrete works to main tower basement to start
  • further structural work on the multideck carpark to take place
  • expansion and redevelopment of the existing emergency department continues - this will include a new paediatric zone and mental health, alcohol and other drugs hub.

Please note the emergency department remains open at all times.

Proudly partnering with Connecting2Australia

The Frankston Hospital redevelopment project is committed to supporting and partnering with local businesses and social enterprises.

We have proudly engaged Connecting2Australia (C2A) to build furniture to be used for the duration of the project. C2A is a not-for-profit organisation and registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider, with its head office located in Frankston.

With a team of over 400 people, across 11 sites, C2A’s purpose is to enable full and equal participation in society for people with disability. One way it does this is through providing goods and services made by people with disability, helping to bring them financial independence, choice and community inclusion.

‘We’re advocating to change society’s perception of what people with disability are capable of doing,’ says Blair Boyle, C2A Business Manager.

‘It is crucial we continue to challenge the status quo for society to question their perception of people with a disability. It’s not disability, it’s different ability.

'Society’s view of people with disabilities doing work is generally simple tasks. C2A is about providing meaningful opportunities.’

Blair Boyle, Business Manager, Connecting2Australia (C2A)

C2A will build and deliver bespoke outdoor tables and bench seats that the project team will use until they are donated at project completion. Not only will the furniture be handmade by their team of 22 supported employees, and five support workers, it will be made from recycled spotted gum timber that comes from used telephone poles, wharfs and train tracks.

Additionally, C2A will deliver gardening and grounds maintenance around the project office next to the Frankston Croquet Club.

‘The more work and orders we can bring through the door, the more people we can employ. My current team of employees who build these incredible timber furniture pieces can also keep doing what they love doing,’ says Blair.

‘To me social impact means being able to have a positive influence or make significant change which addresses or solves a social injustice or challenge.

'A large part of my job is to identify opportunities for this project to partner with local businesses to help bring change to people and organisations in need.’

Carly Buckland, Social Impact Manager, Lendlease

‘We do this through actively engaging and building relationships with our subcontractors through their employment of apprentices, cadets and members of the local community to create opportunities that can change lives.

'I am looking forward to watching our workforce grow with the project and creating initiatives such as The Exchange, which support our diverse workforce and benefit the community.'

You can read more about The Exchange in the ‘Local opportunities for local people’ section of this newsletter.

‘My role is varied and includes a range of responsibilities including overseeing our volunteers, coordinating the volunteer roster, fundraising drives, cash flow and budgeting, ordering stock and ultimately ensuring our Pink Ladies kiosk is running smoothly.

‘I have lived here for my whole life and would not want to live anywhere else. Frankston has changed and grown over the years, and it is wonderful to have the hospital grow as part of this redevelopment to meet the community needs.’

'Having specialist healthcare services for our community locally is so important and removes the need for people to travel for care.’

​

Local opportunities for local people

We recently launched The Exchange, Exemplar Health’s integrated workforce development and social procurement program for the Frankston Hospital redevelopment.

The Exchange initiative aims to support local workforce and business needs across the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula community.

Participants of the Be Onsite traineeship program at the Frankston Hospital redevelopment

Be Onsite program participants

As part of The Exchange, we welcomed eight Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trainees who will complete an eight-month ‘Be Onsite’ program.

‘Be Onsite’ supports trainees to build job readiness, practical skills and an understanding of the construction industry.

It also offers real-life employment and support opportunities on the Frankston Hospital redevelopment.

The aim of the program is for participants to transition into traditional apprenticeships and/or ongoing employment on the project, and it will offer a pipeline of skilled young workers to meet the needs of our project along with the broader construction industry.

Visit the Lendlease website to find out more about The Exchange.

Meg says: ‘My previous roles have included as Deputy Secretary in the transport departments of the Victorian and New South Wales public services and Deputy Chair of the Australia and New Zealand Public Transport Association'.

Earlier in her career she worked in human services in Victoria in the not-for-profit sector, Child Protection and Social Housing.

Speaking of taking the CEO role at VHBA, she says: ‘The opportunity to say, ‘the healthcare of tomorrow, we are building today’ is something I feel a deep connection of purpose to.’

Co-designing for better mental health

Each year, around one in five Victorians will experience mental health challenges.

This means we may all be impacted at some point. Whether directly, or indirectly, as a friend, family member, carer or supporter.

While not all people will need acute support such as a mental health bed, some will.

The Victorian Government’s Mental Health Beds Expansion Program is providing additional support for people experiencing acute mental health challenges who require immediate treatment.

The program engaged people with lived and living experience, carers, supporters and health workers as equal partners.

Read how different perspectives inform design.

In the spotlight

Victorian Heart Hospital helipad has lift off

Seconds count when someone is in cardiac distress. That’s why Australia’s first standalone, specialist cardiac hospital has a state-of-the-art rooftop helipad.

The helipad at the Victorian Heart Hospital is now operational after Air Ambulance Victoria completed a series of test take-offs and landings.

The helipad will play a vital role in providing faster emergency care and safer transport of critically ill patients. Around three cardiac patients will arrive by helicopter each week from all over Victoria.

Community engagement

It takes a lot of planning and many conversations to work out what your redeveloped Warrnambool Base Hospital will look like.

Throughout this process, we will engage with service users, people with lived experience, staff, experts and the local community. We are committed to keeping you informed and involved in the lead up to and throughout construction.

There will also be an opportunity to tour your bigger, better hospital when it is complete.
