Admissions

Getting help should be the easy part

No referral is needed. You can call at any hour and speak to a trained counsellor. Here is exactly what happens next.

The process

Four steps from first call to arrival

  1. 01

    Reach out

    Call our admissions desk or send a message any time. You will speak with a trained counsellor — not a call centre — who will listen first.

  2. 02

    Clinical assessment

    A psychiatrist reviews the history, current risk and needs, over the phone or in person, and recommends the level of care that fits.

  3. 03

    Plan & paperwork

    We confirm the room, share a clear cost estimate, and help with insurance pre-authorisation and cashless approvals where available.

  4. 04

    Arrival & settling in

    On admission day the resident meets their named care team, tours the residence, and the first 72-hour stabilisation plan begins.

Insurance & cost

  • Recent medical or psychiatric reports, if available
  • A few days of comfortable clothing and personal essentials

A full checklist is shared once your admission is confirmed.

Questions

Answers before you ask

  • We work with major insurers and third-party administrators, and assist with pre-authorisation and cashless claims where the policy covers mental-health admission. Our team will confirm your coverage before admission.

  • Yes. Visiting hours and family-therapy sessions are scheduled through the week. Early in an acute admission, visits may be brief and planned with the care team.

  • It depends on the person and the condition. Acute stabilisation is often 2 – 4 weeks; rehabilitation programmes typically run 6 – 12 weeks. The plan is reviewed with the resident and family throughout.

  • A government photo ID, insurance details if applicable, a current medication list and any recent medical reports. We share a full checklist when your admission is confirmed.
