Mental Health
The Hunter Valley's only private mental health facility offers a holisitc treatment in a safe and supportive environment.
Inpatient Treatment
The Mental Health Unit at Maitland Private Hospital can offer assistance during difficult times.
The 25 bed unit offers patients comfortable facilities staffed by a team of highly qualified visiting medical officers, nurses and allied health professionals.
Our holistic approach to treatment is offered in a safe and supportive environment. Patients may be treated in either an inpatient or day patient setting depending on their individual requirements.
Each patient is admitted under the care of a consultant psychiatrist whom they see throughout their admission. Patients are also supported by our team of allied health professionals and highly trained nurses.
Treatment Programs
The Unit offers general group programs and activities for all patients.
In addition, patients may attend specialised groups across a range of treated disorders including anxiety and depression management. These groups address individual issues and feelings. They are psycho-educational and have a cognitive behavioural approach.
Where appropriate, psychotherapy is available to the individual which is one to one therapy focused on their individual issues.
Accommodation & Facilities
Our Mental Health Unit offers modern single and shared accommodation with ensuite, access to communal lounge and dining facilities. If you would like to learn more about the Paterson Unit, please download our brochure here.
Day Program Treatment
For some patients an inpatient stay may not be suitable. We have a range of Day Programs available for patients wishing to access mental health help without being admitted to the unit.
The programs on offer all run for a 12-week period and are held onsite at Maitland Private Hospital one day per week. Patients wishing to attend these programs will need to have private health insurance or be covered by DVA or be willing to self fund.
