The Women's and Children's Hospital is located on the traditional lands for the Kaurna people, and we respect their spiritual relationship with their Country. We also acknowledge that the Kaurna people are the custodians of the Adelaide region, and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.

Mallee Ward Upgrade

Mallee ward 2

Our new Child and Adolescent Mental Health Inpatient Unit Redevelopment is now complete, with young people moving into the new space from Monday, 29 March, 2021

Our new Child and Adolescent Mental Health Inpatient Unit Redevelopment is now complete, with young people moving into the new space from Monday, 29 March.

Mallee has been selected as the new name for Boylan ward as it is native to South Australia, and its meaning (the Mallee root refreshes and rejuvenates) is something that resonates well with our young people and staff.

Boylan staff, consumers and Father Boylan's family were all involved in the renaming and design process for our wonderful new space.

Mallee ward is located on the 2nd Floor of the Good Friday Building. Key features include:

  • A purpose-built high dependant low stimulus unit
  • 12 individual patient rooms with ensuites and natural light
  • Consult spaces
  • A sensory room
  • A large indoor recreation space with gym equipment and a table tennis table, lounge and dining spaces
  • Multiple quiet rooms
  • A kitchen and laundry
  • An outdoor courtyard with a kitchen garden and basketball ring
  • A family lounge.

The new Mallee Ward remains the only Child and Adolescent Mental Health Inpatient Service in South Australia.

This redevelopment is part of the $50 Million Upgrade Project so we can continue to provide the highest quality of care while planning continues for our new hospital.
