Following extensive consultation with clinical and technical experts, as well as consumer representatives, the Mental Health Standard Components have been updated. 

Changes include updating rooms to reflect contemporary operational models, equipment and design requirements.  All room names and sizes have been updated to align with the recently updated HPU 134 Adult Acute Mental Health Inpatient Unit.

The updated Standard Components include:

• 1BR-MH-IN - 1-Bed Room - Mental Health, Inboard Ensuite (previously 1BR-MH-A)
• 1BR-MH-NE - 1-Bed Room - Mental Health, Nested Ensuite (previously 1BR-MH-C)
• ENS-MH-IN - Ensuite - Mental Health, Inboard (previously ENS-MH-A)
• ENS-MH-NE - Ensuite - Mental Health, Nested (previously ENS-MH-B)
• INTV-MH - Interview Room - Mental Health (previously INTF-MH)
• LAUN-MH - Laundry - Mental Health
• STPP - Store - Patient Property
• SECL - Seclusion Room
• WAIT-SEC - Waiting - Secure

The following Standard Components have been created:

• BBEV-MH - Bay - Beverage, Mental Health
• TRBNL - Tribunal Hearing Room

The following Standard Component has been retired:

•  DINBEV-25 - Dining Room / Beverage Bay - Mental Health, 25m2

Project Resources
Updates to the above Standard Components are also reflected in the following updated Project Resources:

• Standard Component Document Register
• Standard Component File for Import (to database or BIM platforms)
• Item Control Schedule (version 2.3)

Note: due to changes to the Room Data Sheet (RDS) content and format, the File for Import has been provided as two separate files. One file provides the information for the Standard Components that are still published in the old RDS format, while the other provides information for the Standard Components that are now published in the new RDS format.  This will be updated progressively as Standard Components are reviewed and re-published until all Standard Components are provided in the new format. 

Due to a model update that is in progress, an updated version of the AusHFG Revit Model cannot be provided at this time.
The following Resources do NOT yet reflect the above changes to the Standard Components:

• AusHFG Revit Model (and Shared Parameters)
• AusHFG IFC Model

Communication to follow shortly regarding model updates.

A thank you is extended to the many user representatives, jurisdictional representatives and industry experts who have assisted in the review and production of these resources.

Kind regards,

The AusHFG Team
