Inpatient programs

The Sydney Clinic specialises in mood and anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, drug and alcohol detoxification, gambling, as well as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).


Our inpatient programs provide a range of psychological therapeutic groups and activities.

The program is run by a multidisciplinary team that includes Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Nursing staff and a Psychiatric registrar.

Some patients may require inpatient treatment (staying overnight for a period of time in the clinic).

Patients who experience acute symptoms may require urgent intervention and often inpatient care, however once the acute symptoms have resolved and the patient has stabilised they can attend as an outpatient.

Program details are recorded on the noticeboards of each floor.
