Service & Programs

We aim to be one of the top

Private Mental Health Day Hospitals

Our innovative programs treat a wide range of psychiatric disorders.

Why Choose the Victorian Centre for Mental Health?

We provide the highest quality Mental Health Care, individualized treatment by the country’s leading experts, and in the shortest amount of time. Each patient is assigned a case manager to handle their mental health issues.

We treat the individual, not the diagnosis. Diagnostic labels cannot capture the essence of an individual’s struggles or strengths, and they often obscure what people have in common. Many of our patients have multiple diagnoses; and many have been identified as “treatment resistant” in the past. Often they seek treatment at the Victorian Centre for Mental Health because they need a different approach, and because of the range of programs that we are able to provide. We provide an individualised treatment plan after careful assessment, with staged treatment targets matched to individual treatment needs. Our treatments are world class, and provide a supportive and evidence-based approach to mental health care. We also incorporate physical health assessments into our individualised treatment plan, as general health often impacts on mental health. Our sophisticated approach to mental health care, along with our range of programs, provide effective outcomes for our patients. Patients identified as “treatment resistant” or with multiple conditions often seek to have their mental health care provided at the Victorian Centre for Mental Health.

Insurance

From 1 April 2018, a Mental Health Waiver has been introduced to enable eligible private hospital insurance members to upgrade their level of cover to a policy with Included in-hospital psychiatric treatment and elect to have the 2 month waiting period for those higher benefits waived. This means somebody on a basic or mid-level of hospital cover can immediately upgrade their cover and access higher benefits towards in-hospital psychiatric treatment.
