About Fullarton Clinic
Proudly Australian owned and operated by healthcare professionals in Melbourne, with strong local knowledge of Epping and surrounding suburbs
Fullarton Clinic delivers high quality, evidence-based care for people facing mental health and addiction challenges. Our purpose-built private mental health hospital has been thoughtfully designed to support comfort, dignity, and recovery. Informed by local insight and clinical experience, we provide a safe, respectful environment for individuals, families, and referring health professionals. Whether seeking help for mental health or addiction challenges or supporting someone else, we work with you across every stage of the care journey.
Although Fullarton Clinic is a new hospital, our leadership and clinical teams bring decades of experience operating successful mental health facilities. Our approach blends practical experience, active team leadership, and a strong focus on delivering high standards of care and patient support. With a strong understanding of the local community and its evolving needs, we have created a private psychiatric hospital designed to provide clinically robust and compassionate care.
“The demand for mental health services has outstripped the capacity of the current system.”
In Melbourne’s north, this shortage is especially felt. The corridor continues to grow rapidly and is forecast to surpass the size of Adelaide by 2030–2035. Fullarton Clinic was developed in response—providing access to a private psychiatric hospital focused on mental health and addiction recovery.

Our Service To The Community
Whether you're crossing town or travelling from elsewhere in Victoria, we welcome people experiencing mental health and addiction challenges to our private hospital.
Fullarton Clinic was developed to help meet the growing need for private, hospital-based mental health and addiction care across Melbourne and Victoria.
While grounded in strong local knowledge of Melbourne's north, our team recognises the broader challenges facing individuals and families seeking timely, high quality mental health support. Our purpose-built hospital offers evidence-based programs delivered in a safe, therapeutic environment—designed to support long-term recovery and personal dignity.
We partner with health professionals and community members to provide care that reflects clinical best practices and the values of kindness, respect, and continuity.
This approach aligns with the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System, which called for better access to quality, community-focused mental health care across the state.
Partnering With Healthcare Professionals
We partner with Psychiatrists, Addiction Medicine Specialists, General Practitioners (GPs), Nurse Practitioners, Psychologists, and other Allied Health Professionals to provide safe, coordinated, and compassionate care.
