Q. Does my loved one need a referral to be admitted?
A: No. You can begin the process directly by filling out our short application. We’ll take it from there.
Q. How quickly can they be admitted?
A: In most cases, we can assess and admit within a few days, not weeks or months. There’s no waiting list.
Q. Will I be involved in their care?
A: Yes. You’ll be kept informed, supported, and never left wondering what’s going on. You’re part of the plan — not just a bystander.
Q. What if they’ve already tried therapy or medication?
A:That’s exactly who we’re here for. Many of our patients have done both, and need something deeper, more structured, and more consistent.
Q. Will they be safe there?
A: Yes. Avive is a fully licensed private psychiatric hospital. Every part of our facility, from the care team to the rooms, is built for stability, safety, and recovery.
Avive Health acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander traditional custodians of country and recognises their continuing connection to land, sea, culture and community. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.
