Available Treatments
Treatment Resistant Depression Therapies
Robina Private Hospital’s New & Emerging Therapies (NET) Clinic offers specialised programs for individuals experiencing Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD), where symptoms persist despite trials of standard antidepressant therapies.
Our clinic provides access to advanced therapies delivered in a safe, controlled hospital environment. These treatments are designed for patients with complex mental health conditions and are administered under the supervision of qualified medical professionals. Our treatment programs use emerging therapies that act on different pathways in the brain than traditional antidepressants. These therapies may offer new avenues for symptom relief and recovery in cases where conventional treatments have not been effective.
Key features of our therapies include:
- Expert Psychiatric Oversight – All therapies are prescribed and monitored by AHPRA-registered psychiatrists, following national clinical guidelines.
- Safe, Controlled Environment – Treatments are delivered in a hospital setting equipped to manage medical and behavioural emergencies.
- Comprehensive Monitoring – Our multidisciplinary team provides continuous observation and support throughout the treatment process.
- Thorough Assessment – Prior to commencing therapy, patients attend an outpatient consultation for a detailed psychiatric evaluation. Informed consent is obtained before any treatment begins.
Robina Private Hospital adheres to strict protocols for the storage, handling, and administration of all controlled therapies, in line with state and federal regulations. Additional approvals may apply depending on the treatment pathway recommended by the psychiatrist.
Please note:
These therapies are not available for purchase by the general public and are only offered following clinical assessment. Individual suitability is determined by a treating psychiatrist.
Anti Amyloid Therapy For Early Alzheimer’s Disease
We offer Anti Amyloid Infusion therapies for early-stage Alzheimer’s disease using Donanemab and Lecanemab. These innovative, disease-modifying treatments target beta amyloid plaques in the brain to help slow cognitive decline and support longer independence. The therapy is suitable for patients with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s, confirmed through specialised brain imaging and assessment via a Memory Clinic. Treatment involves regular infusions in the Day Surgery Unit, coordinated monitoring by a prescribing specialist, and support from a nurse navigator. Patients also benefit from access to wellness programs such as BOOST, Healthy Minds, and Young at Heart, which promote cognitive stimulation, mental health, and lifestyle improvements.
Robotic-Assisted Rehabilitation
Our Robotic-Assisted Rehabilitation program at Robina Private Hospital enhances recovery by combining advanced technology with traditional therapies. Integrated into inpatient and day therapy programs, this evidence-based approach increases repetitions, intensity, and motivation, optimising results efficiently and effectively.
Ideal for conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s, and Multiple Sclerosis, our sensory robotic devices target a range of symptoms to support personalised recovery goals. By supplementing conventional therapy, robotic-assisted rehabilitation helps patients and therapists achieve the best possible outcomes in a supportive environment.
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
Our advanced Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) programs enable higher-acuity psychiatric treatment, supporting innovative and evidence-based care for complex mental health conditions. rTMS is a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment for mental health conditions like depression.
It uses repetitive magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. This innovative therapy is well-tolerated, with minimal side effects, and is particularly beneficial for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments.
rTMS is available for both inpatients and outpatients, ensuring flexible access to this advanced treatment in a safe and supportive environment.
