Compassionate Support for Borderline Personality Disorder

Fullarton Clinic provides structured, compassionate care to support you in managing Borderline Personality Disorder. Our evidence-based programs help you build emotional regulation, improve relationships, and feel more confident in daily life.

Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can feel overwhelming.

Intense emotions, unstable relationships, fear of abandonment, and self image challenges often make daily life feel unpredictable and exhausting.

BPD is not a character flaw or a cry for attention—it reflects deep emotional pain. With the right support, many people with BPD learn how to manage their symptoms, reduce distress, and live whole, meaningful lives.

Fullarton Clinic recognises the courage it takes to seek help. We offer a safe, supportive environment where real, lasting change can begin—with complete care designed to support your journey.

How Do You Feel Right Now?

You might benefit from support if you experience these Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms:

• Intense, rapidly shifting emotions
• Persistent fear of abandonment
• Unstable or shifting sense of self
• Impulsive behaviours such as binge eating or substance use
• Chronic feelings of emptiness
• Difficulty managing relationships or trusting others

(BPD) affects many people and can feel overwhelming—but help is available. You’re not alone, and support is within reach.

Whether you're just beginning to recognise these symptoms or have been living with BPD for some time, practical support is available.

 
 
 

According to the Australian Government's National Suicide Prevention Strategy, around 1.6% of Australians experience BPD.

You're not alone—and you're not without options.

 

Whether you've lived with a diagnosis for some time or are seeking clarity around your possible Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms, Fullarton Clinic offers structured, respectful care designed to support you and your mental health goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

1What forms of Borderline Personality Disorder do you support?
We support individuals with a range of BPD presentations, from those seeking a new diagnosis to people who have been managing symptoms for many years. Whether you're experiencing emotional dysregulation, unstable relationships, impulsivity, or chronic emptiness, our program is tailored to meet your individual needs. We provide structured, trauma-informed care that respects the complexity of BPD and supports sustained emotional wellbeing.
2Is a referral needed to begin treatment?
A referral to a Psychiatrist who holds admitting rights to Fullarton Clinic is required for Inpatient Treatment. If you're unsure where to start, your GP can initiate this process, or you can contact our intake team who can connect you with a Psychiatrist at Fullarton Clinic.
3How long is the Inpatient Program for Borderline Personality Disorder?
Most inpatient stays range from 18 to 21 days. However, this may vary based on your specific needs. The length and structure of your stay will be determined in collaboration with your treating team, ensuring your care plan is appropriate and effective for your situation.
4How do Inpatient and Day Programs differ?
Inpatient care offers a stable, therapeutic setting for individuals needing focused support to manage acute symptoms. Day Programs support people transitioning from Inpatient care, helping them adjust to everyday responsibilities while maintaining access to treatment and support.
5Is medication always part of Borderline Personality Disorder treatment?
Medication is not the primary treatment for BPD, but it may be used to help manage co-occurring symptoms such as Anxiety, Insomnia, or mood fluctuations. If medication is appropriate for your situation, our Psychiatric team will work with you to develop a safe and supportive plan that complements your therapeutic care.
6What if I've tried treatment before and still experience symptoms?
It's not uncommon for people with BPD to have engaged with support in the past without lasting results. Our program is designed for those who need a renewed, structured approach. We focus on evidence-based therapies like DBT and ACT while creating a safe, validating environment that encourages meaningful change over time.
7Can my regular health providers stay involved in my care?
Absolutely. With your consent, we coordinate with your existing GP, Psychiatrist, or Psychologist to support seamless care during and after your stay. Our goal is to work alongside your broader support network—not to replace it.
8What are the costs involved in the program?
The costs of your hospital stay are covered by private health insurance, depending on the type of cover you have. Contact our intake team to understand more.

Seeking help for Borderline Personality Disorder takes courage. At Fullarton Clinic, you won't be judged. You'll be welcomed with respect, supported by an experienced team, and offered care that recognises the complexity—and the possibility—of your experience.
