The opening of the Belmont Private Hospital expansion will increase the number of overnight stays for mental health patients per year by over 12,000, to a total of 58,000 overnight stays in 2024. This marks a significant development in the treatment of mental health in Australia, with demand for treatment exceeding available supply, making Belmont one of the largest private mental health hospitals in the country and now, one of the only facilities that specializes in mental health treatment across ages – from its new Young Adult and Adolescent Unit to its Older Adult Mental Health Unit.
Aurora Healthcare Australia Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Julia Strickland-Bellamy said: “We are delighted to see the completion of the final extension to Belmont Private Hospital. The hospital is also celebrating 50 years of operation this year, which is a remarkable milestone that speaks volumes about Belmont Private Hospital’s dedication to providing high-quality care. The addition of this extension further solidifies the hospital’s commitment to delivering the best mental health care across different age spectrums with the highest level of expertise.”
“This achievement reflects the hard work, dedication, and passion of the entire team at Belmont Private Hospital. It’s a testament to their enduring commitment to improving the health and well-being of the Brisbane community,” she added.
And in New South Wales, Hirondelle Private Hospital is transforming into a mental health oasis. The state-of-the-art mental health hospital will open its doors in early 2024, and the team is dedicated to providing unparalleled care and support for individuals facing mental health challenges.
