Ramsay Mental Health Services
For patients with more complex mental health conditions where behavioural therapy may not be appropriate, a psychiatrist led program at one of our clinics may be the right option.
Our Mental Health Clinics include inpatient, day programs, hospital in the home (in some clinics), outpatient consultations, neurostimulation and other treatments including transcranial magnetic stimulation.
For patients requiring support for life changes or relationship issues, a psychologist may be the right course of action. They may see one of our psychologists either as a standalone plan or following psychiatric care with Ramsay Mental Health.
As Australia’s largest private provider of psychology services, our broad network of practitioners and locations means your patient can see someone whose expertise matches their needs, close to home.
Please note if you refer to us with a Mental Health Care Plan, a gap fee per session is payable by the patient.
