Congrats Bek. Hopefully my grandchildren won’t be requiring your services anytime soon, but at least I know they’ll be in good hands if they do. Must catch up sometime. We moved to the area 2021 xx

Legendary 🥰

This helped us so much not only for my kids but fir me being able to wait for hours when the whole family is neurodivergent. It helped keep me calm and the kids.

Nice work - a calming space / great initiative 🌈

Its not new it was there last year as my son has really bad autism and if it was not for that room and a couple of nurses he would not be here today he had to have emergency surgery on his back and the only way the doctor was able to see him was been in that room away from the nosie and all the people he stayed in that room until they got him a bed in the ward they even covered his body with a blanket when he had to go for a ultrasound and they come with us and brought him back ti that room that room was a live safer for our family

Good job Bek! You’re a good listener and great NP! ⭐️

So glad to work alongside you Bek, your amazing!!

Everyone feels over stimulated in ED, little people, parents/ carers & health care professionals. Every hospital needs these calmer spaces. Well done Bek!

They are so lucky to have you Bek 🤍

How many can use the room at once

Love that you’re bringing together consumer feedback and lived experience to the ED Bek! Superstar.

Well done Bek 🩷

Metro North Health Mark Ryan MP Hey can we have this for mental health patients at Caboolture Hospital? There are three mental health emergency rooms, and if you aren't triaged for those, you are put in the busy communal waiting room with the physical emergency patients. If you are autistic, and ESPECIALLY if you are there because you are having a bad mental health day, being in a room with high sensory input and lots of people is actually quite traumatic. I say this as an autistic person who has slept on the footpath outside because I couldn't handle the emergency waiting room.

Needed this egg seat the other day in ED at another location. Or my own plexiglass box. Got sent out to the waiting room once established my airways weren’t swollen shut from anaphylaxis. The chairs lining was torn and the sponge was poking out. Was worried it harboured so much bacteria. It was crowded, still worried someone’s possibly given me something and there were prisoners with police behind office screens/pin boards. A homeless guy walked in and rummaged through the bin and took a used glove…. Plus people were eating a whole meal with seafood in it in the ED waiting room.
