A man died at Geelong’s Swanston Centre in 2024 after being attacked by another patient, exposing ongoing safety failures in the psychiatric unit.
In February 2024, a 31-year-old man died at the Swanston Centre psychiatric unit in Geelong, allegedly killed by another patient sharing a bathroom through a flimsy, non-locking door, prompting police and WorkSafe investigations.
This followed the earlier death of Bellamy Nieto, who died after a suicide attempt.
Staff have long raised alarms over unsafe conditions, citing outdated infrastructure, overcrowding, staffing shortages, and inadequate security, with Barwon Health previously acknowledging the unit as a high-risk area in 2019.
