Fullarton Clinic has been planned to provide high quality in and out-patient mental health care in the setting of a private hospital.


This fills a widening gap in the delivery of such services around Australia, as evidenced by the recent Royal Commission into Mental Health services. Our objective is to design, construct and operate a purpose built private Psychiatric hospital in Epping to help bridge the gap in the delivery of Mental Health services in that region.

While Fullarton Clinic is a new hospital, the key personnel involved bring decades of experience and success to the Hospital. They have run similar healthcare facilities that have been developed to be highly effective healthcare entities through a combination of practical application, strong focus on quality and patient care and hands on team building and development, matched with an awareness of the needs of the region which they serve.

Model of Care

The model of care that Fullarton Clinic has adopted is the delivery of Psychiatric services through a registered and quality accredited private hospital that will provide:

Fullarton Clinic is located in Epping, where there are currently no private Psychiatric hospitals and a rapidly growing population in the catchment area that is projected to exceed that of Adelaide by 2030-35.
