Class 9 9 is a building of a public nature. is a health-care building, including those parts of the building set aside as a laboratory; or Class 9a Class 9a buildings are health-care buildings, including day-care surgeries or procedure units and the like. Laboratories which are part of a Class 9a building are Class 9a, despite the general classification of laboratories as Class 8 buildings. 9b an assembly building, including a trade workshop, laboratory or the like in a primary or — secondary school, but excluding any other parts of the building that are of another Class; or buildings can include: theatres, cinemas and halls, churches, schools, early childhood centres, kindergartens, and child-minding centres; indoor cricket, tennis and basketball centres; snooker halls; bus and railway stations. 9c is an aged care building which may contain residents who have various care level needs. The Class 9c classification recognises that many residents progress through a continuum of care needs from low to high. Many older people enter residential care with low care needs, but, as they age, require higher levels of care. In the past, such progression often necessitated the transfer of a hostel resident to a nursing home. This frequently had negative consequences for the health and well-being of the resident, for whom the hostel accommodation was home. It also led, at times, to the separation of couples with differing care needs. Building designers should note that Class 3 buildings include hostels for the accommodation of the aged, and Class 9a buildings include nursing homes. It is important to be aware, however, that construction of Class 3 or 9a buildings may restrict the options available to the operators of a facility in relation to the profile of the residents they wish to accommodate. Where the potential exists for residents of varying care needs to be accommodated, consideration of the Class 9c provisions may be appropriate. The Class 9c classification allows for any mix of low and high care residents and is intended to allow the mix to change, as the residents' care needs change over time, without the need to obtain any further consent or approval from the appropriate authority. Multi-care level facilities are for residents who may require the full range of care services outlined by the Aged Care Act. Hence, it is not intended to restrict the resident type and provides maximum flexibility for service providers, residents and the community.
