Health & Safety
NEW PROJECT | Thomas Embling Hospital Expansion – Stage Two
Thomas Embling Hospital Expansion - Stage Two
Thomas Embling Hospital is a secure forensic mental health hospital, providing care and treatment for people living with a serious mental illness in, or at risk of entering, the justice system. With significant growth in forensic patients and increasing demand for mental health beds in the justice system, the stage two expansion will ensure that Victorians most at risk can access mental health services in a secure, contemporary, and recovery-focused environment.
Construction on stages one and two are underway and main works are due for completion in 2024. This John Holland project responds to key recommendations from the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System.
Ben Dowsett announced the project win by ringing the bell at VIC HQ. Ben is currently studying Construction Management at RMIT and assists our Estimating Department as part of the CDPG Graduate Program.

Shout out to two of CDPG’s experienced plumbers Mick Berry and Matthew O’Brien who were recently presented awards for their ongoing leadership and commitment to work place health and safety.
The gents have been coordinating deep excavation works at the McKellar Centre in Geelong reinforcing CDPG’s safety first principles.
NAIDOC Week
In recognition of #NAIDOC Week and in celebration of this year’s theme Heal Country! we wish to acknowledge the sacrifices made by Gunditjmara servicemen and women recently recognised on a water tower at Heywood, Victoria. The new Indigenous war memorial which forms part of the Australian Silo Art Trail includes images of Ricky Morris’ (Pathway Plumbing Service) grandfather and great uncles who served for the Gunditjmara mob.
