Queensland’s Health minister Steven Miles has announced that a residential disability centre for people with profound and complex disabilities will remain open, overturning a decision to close the facility made by his department.
Staff told relatives of residents in January that due to NDIS requirements, the facility would close at the end of the year.
The Halwyn Centre in the inner north-west of Brisbane has been operated by the State since 1979 and houses over 30 high-needs residents.
