Our pathways match you with the right care for your unique mental health experience and goals
Mental Health Services Pathway
There are several ways you can access support at our hospital for mental health care, but to get started, you need a referral to a Psychiatrist with admitting rights to Fullarton Clinic. You can either ask your GP for a referral to one of our Doctors or contact our intake team, who will connect you with a Psychiatrist. Next, you will complete an initial assessment, which will determine the most appropriate care pathway based on your individual needs and mental health goals.
The diagram below outlines a typical entry pathway for Fullarton Clinic Mental Health Services. However, this may be adjusted to suit your personal circumstances—for example, if you are travelling from interstate for treatment and are unable to attend the Day Program after Inpatient care.
Our purpose-built, well appointed hospital is designed for comfort with your healing in mind.
Access Specialised Mental Health Care
Our private mental health facility provides a safe, therapeutic environment designed to promote better mental health and sustained wellness.

Health Screening For Chronic Disease Management
Mental health conditions can sometimes impact overall wellbeing.
This may be due to lifestyle factors, changes in employment or finances, or other circumstances that lead to missed or inconsistent general health checks. As part of Fullarton Clinic’s complete care approach, we offer screening for physical health conditions that can be associated with mental health challenges — such as heart disease.
If any concerns are identified, we’ll support you to access appropriate medical care in a timely way. With your consent, we can also share outcomes with your GP to help ensure continuity of care.
Be Part of a Community
During your time at Fullarton Clinic, you’ll take part in structured group therapy, gentle shared activities, and mealtimes with other patients.
These moments create space for connection — helping you form lasting relationships and find encouragement from others on a similar healing journey.
While everyone’s experience is unique, many people say that being surrounded by others who truly understand becomes one of the most meaningful parts of their recovery.
The Fullarton Clinic community is built on connection, respect, and shared support. It’s a place where every person’s healing journey is recognised, and where patients and staff work together to create a safe, inclusive, and restorative environment.
