This includes: accredited psychiatrists; experienced registered mental health nurses; allied health staff (Psychologists, Social Workers, Dietitians, Exercise Physiologist, Music Therapist and Art Therapist); in conjunction with several key support services such as Administration and Housekeeping services.
The Geelong Clinic delivers the highest quality patient-centred care. Our healthcare is respectful of, and responsive to, the preferences, needs and values of patients. Our programs and care are based on the recovery model including relapse prevention strategies.
The Geelong Clinic embodies an inclusive service. We are dedicated to providing services that are culturally sensitive and aware. We understand and are accepting of diversity in identity and acknowledge the critical role that family and friends play in the lives of patients.
