Thank you for completing this survey - your feedback is important

The Department of Health is leading a building project to establish a new bed-based facility at Chermside, Brisbane, opening in 2020. The facility will cater for adolescents, aged 13-21 years old, who have complex mental health conditions and who may stay at the facility for up to six months. During their admission, patients will have access to an education and vocational training program.
 
The Department of Education is committed to providing a statewide continuum of educational support for students with chronic health or mental health conditions. As part of this process, it is integral that we understand and hear the voices of our students about what they need to continue and succeed in their learning.
 
We're really keen to hear your ideas, feedback and opinions.
The questions below form many of the aspects for the new health facility. We would also love to hear any other ideas you have.
