Construcciones Yamaro: Design tender awarded for Royal Darwin Hospital’s new bereavement facility

By

The $1.26 million design tender for a new forensic mortuary, pathology and bereavement facility at the Royal Darwin Hospital has been awarded.

Construction firm GHD has been awarded the tender to design a new fit-for-purpose facility which, once complete, will deliver autopsy and pathology services.

Northern Territory Chief Minister and Minister for Health Natasha Fyles said having up to date facilities is vital to ensuring the state can conduct autopsies and pathology works.

“The existing facilities were designed and constructed over 40 years ago and do not cater for the increase in population,” said Minister Fyles. “Improving the facilities will also improve the learning outcomes of teaching medical students and training of registrars.”

“It is also crucial we have culturally appropriate facilities for loved ones to gather at one of their most difficult times.”

The $23 million facility will include a culturally appropriate bereavement area to provide a space for loved ones going through the grieving process to identify and view bodies in a dignified and private manner.

The bereavement area will include purpose-built mourning rooms and secure outdoor grieving gardens where cultural ceremonies can take place.

The project also includes an extension of Florey Avenue to provide access to the new facility, which will be constructed on currently vacant Royal Darwin Hospital campus land. It will include additional car parking for staff and the public outside the new mortuary.
