Avive Health launches new mental health hospital in Vic

Avive Health, a provider of integrated private mental health services in Australia, has announced the launch of a new hospital in Mornington Peninsula, Victoria.

With an investment of AU$70 million, this new facility — along with the group’s hospital opening in Brisbane, provides 123 beds to enhance the national healthcare system.

"Our goal at Avive Health is to provide more than a place for treatment," said Greg Procter, co-founder and co-CEO.

"We are dedicated to offering evidence-based services that cater to individuals' overall wellbeing during their health and wellness recovery," he said.

The private mental health hospital in Mornington Peninsula focuses on creating an environment that actively promotes patient healing based on research-backed methods. The clinic offers care for individuals dealing with various mental health issues including depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, substance use disorders, and developmental and adult trauma.

The facility offers an array of treatments ranging from general adult psychiatry to specialised care for mood and anxiety disorders tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. Treatment options include medications, therapy sessions and support for individuals undergoing alcohol rehabilitation. The hospital also focuses on addressing trauma, supporting those in high-stress professions and promoting mental wellbeing among women.

Co-founder and co-CEO Mark Sweeney said, "Recognising the connection between an individual's health and their environment, we have created spaces that encourage healing and recovery throughout the treatment process.

Dr Matt McDornan, the co-founder and chief medical officer of Avive Health, said, "Our facilities offer not only programs informed by trauma but also foster a culture informed by trauma to ensure that both clinical and non-clinical staff positively influence each patient's experience."
