Our facilities

The Hobart Clinic is a contemporary mental health facility with 27 single rooms for residential patients. All in-patients have a private single room, with ensuite and personal controls for heating and airconditioning.

A shop is available and newspapers are provided in common reading rooms. There are several well-appointed common areas, a comfortable dining area, a TV room, an art therapy room, a massage room, a small gymnasium and group therapy rooms. Six psychiatrists operate within the Clinic within our consulting suite.

It is set on seven acres of landscaped gardens, offering a safe and tranquil environment which helps in recovery.

The Clinic is accredited to the highest medical standards and all staff are qualified as clinical nurses or higher.

You can attend the Clinic with a referral from any medical practitioner or psychiatrist.

Residential programs

This may include a residential stay in the clinic, which is an accredited hospital staffed by specialist nurses and doctors. Each person has a private single room with ensuite, with round-the-clock support and supervision.

Residential stays are usually for two to three weeks, depending on your needs.

Part of the benefit of a residential stay includes helping you settle into regular patterns of eating and sleeping. As well as receiving medical treatment and participating in therapy sessions, a stay helps you to develop calming, healthy routines for yourself.

Our in-house chefs make tasty, nutritious breakfast and hot lunches and dinners every day.

You will have regular appointments with our psychiatrists during your stay, at least twice a week, and be able to attend a program of education and therapy in the clinic that is best suited to your needs.

In addition, you can see visitors when you feel well enough; attend yoga, tai chi, or swimming; have a walk or sit outside in our gardens; relax by reading, watching TV or movies; enjoy some art therapy, or a relaxing massage or foot reflexology treatment.

Day programs

Alternatively, you can enroll in one of our day programs. These programs focus on recovery and rehabiliation, offering education and therapy with a range of health professionals.

Day programs assist you to better understand your condition, to learn and practise skills that will help, and support you in setting goals for moving forward in your life.

The Hobart Clinic’s programs run from one to five days a week. You can attend for as many weeks as needed.
