WREN is an innovative project being developed in response to the Royal Commission recommendations for partnerships between the public and private sector, and the need for gender segregation and sexually safe units.

We recognise that women experiencing mental ill-health have specific needs that differ from their male counterparts that require tailored treatment and support.
