The Marian Centre is a 69-bed private hospital. Its team of Psychiatrists, Medical, Nursing and Allied Health professionals provide care in the management and treatment of acute mental health disorders.

We cater for patients between 18 and 70 years of age. Other patients can be admitted but we recommend a review in the consulting suites by one of the Psychiatrists to ensure the hospital can meet their needs. As an alternative to inpatient admission, patients aged between 16 and 18 years may be referred to the Adolescent Day Programs.

We accept patients with private health insurance and self-funded patients. We also welcome eligible Australian Defence Force personnel, veterans' and war widows under our Tier 1 provider relationship with the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA). 

A referral is required from your GP or treating doctor to a Psychiatrist with admitting rights to the Marian Centre.

We have designed our mental health facility to deliver care in the least restrictive manner. This allows patients to feel relaxed and comfortable, with patient safety our first priority. We also have an active Consumer and Carer Committee, that plays a key role in improving the experiences and care we provide our patients.
