  • an update of all content including a clearer definition of the scope of this HPU;
  • emphasis on design solutions to provide an individualised, home-like and therapeutic environment that supports the restoration of function and transition of consumers back to the community and promotion of self-regulation strategies;
  • general update of the schedule of accommodation including update of the bedroom size from 14m2 to 16m2 to align with the revised standard component and to provide additional area for a larger than standard wardrobe, TV and additional storage for longer stay consumers.
