Transforming Tresillian Wollstonecraft
The Project
The redevelopment of Tresillian’s Wollstonecraft Family Care Centre will mark a new era in the delivery of quality care, education, advice and support for parents, their babies, toddlers and families.
A Snapshot of Tresillian's Social Impact
Tresillian has appointed builder HPAC to undertake renovations to Historic Carpenter House and construction of a new building at the rear. The new building will accommodate a 14-bed in-patient facility operating 7 days a week and expanded day services, education and counselling services for new parents.
The project will cost an estimated $16.4m and once complete, will enable thousands of parents, babies and families throughout Sydney and New South Wales to access Tresillian’s valuable early parenting support services including issues such as an unsettled baby, breastfeeding and postnatal depression and anxiety. We are incredibly grateful to the NSW Government, generous donors, and community partners for their support.
The redevelopment has North Sydney Council and NSW Government approval and is expected to be completed by mid-2023. Builder, HPAC, is experienced in delivering major projects of this size and scale and will work closely with Tresillian and Project Managers, MostynCopper to ensure the construction works are delivered with minimal disruption.
