Transforming Tresillian Wollstonecraft
Tresillian’s new $16.4m parenting centre at 25 Shirley Road Wollstonecraft is nearing completion and will soon be welcoming the first parents and their babies to experience world-class care in a state-of-the-art facility.
The new early parenting support Centre, located at the rear of historic Carpenter House, has been thoughtfully designed and includes a 14-bed residential unit operating 7 days a week where parents can live in with their baby or toddler to receive specialist advice and support with issues such as an unsettled baby, breastfeeding and postnatal depression and anxiety.
Each room is beautifully appointed and includes private ensuites and adjoining sleeping areas for babies and their parent. The development also includes disability access rooms and double rooms for parents with more than one child.
Expanded day services will run from Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5pm and visitors will find dedicated children’s play areas on each level along with spacious recreational areas overlooking the city and harbour for gatherings and parent education sessions.
The Centre is accessible from an internal lift connecting to the underground 12-space Staff carpark that includes 8 electric car charging stations. Public access is via a spacious boardwalk from Shirley Road to the elegant foyer of the new Centre

The opening of the Tresillian Wollstonecraft early parenting support Centre marks a historic milestone in the organisation’s 105-year history. We look forward to welcoming new generations of parents and their babies from across New South Wales to Tresillian Wollstonecraft and delivering on Tresillian’s vision to ensure every child has the best possible start in life.
