The facility is split over split over 2 units and there are nine general admission beds (Orion Unit) and four PICU beds (Nova Unit), with additional support accommodation consisting of Lounges, assisted bathrooms, nurse office and ancillary spaces.

Nova is a PICU facility which is currently occupied as required.

The proposed works also include refurbishing an existing bedroom and converting an existing adjacent bedroom space into a lounge area, access from the refurbished bedroom (ensuites to remain as existing). This will also include a new secluded garden with security weld mesh fencing, safety flooring and level access from the new bedroom lounge space. The refurbishment in the occupied Orion Unit consists of modifying an existing games room to reduce the existing room space and provide a new staff office.
