Day Patient Admissions
We offer a range of therapeutic programs to support patients. Our day patient programs can be used as an alternative to admission, or as part of your continuation of care to support discharge from hospital.
How do I get admitted?
Ask your Doctor or Specialist to refer you to Kellyville Private Hospital.
Referral must be to a Psychiatrist with admission rights to the hospital.
If you are not currently a patient at our hospital, you require an assessment with one of our day group coordinators to determine the best program for treating your condition.
If you are currently a patient at our hospital, please discuss referral to a program with one of our Day Group Coordinators.
Your Psychiatrist will provide a referral to Kellyville Private Hospital and we will contact you for a health fund check and advise you if any out-of-pocket expenses apply. They will also confirm your program start date.
