Our discharge planning starts when you arrive at hospital. This helps to discuss and plan for your needs, after your hospital stay.
During your stay, you are encouraged to discuss any concerns or issues you may have, with your Psychiatrist or a member of your treating team.
There are a number of people who can help plan your discharge:
We ask that you vacate your room by 9:30am, so that we can prepare for our next patient. You may stay and complete the inpatient group therapy programs before going home.
Please check with your Nurse before leaving to collect your medications and prescriptions, and to confirm any follow up appointments you may have.
You must also report to reception to finalise any outstanding accounts you may have.
Reception hours are Monday to Friday: 7:30am – 5.30pm.
We will contact your referring Doctor to advise them that you have been discharged from our hospital.
We will contact you post-discharge to confirm your progress, and that your circumstances have not changed.
You will also be emailed a copy of our Patient Experience Survey. Patient Feedback we receive helps us to know what we are doing well, staff we should recognise and how we can improve our service for all patients visitors.
For all outpatient queries please contact private practice on 07 5665 5155.
Please attend any follow up appointments arranged with your Psychiatrist, following discharge.
We encourage you to attend our day programs, to help your ongoing recovery and build on the skills already learnt during your hospital stay. This also lessens your risk of re-admission to hospital. Please speak to your Psychiatrist about a day program suitable for you.
