The Marian Centre is committed to an excellent standard of care to help restore your health.

Treatment will be a partnership between you and the clinical staff. You will be involved in your treatment from the time of admission to the planning of your discharge and follow up care. Family, carers and friends may be involved in your treatment programme if you wish.

Philosophy of Treatment

The principles of treatment are:

  • Optimal care for all patients
  • Compassion
  • Involvement of patients and carers in care planning and implementation
  • Care provided in the least restrictive environment
  • Continuity of care across all care settings
  • Multidisciplinary team approach
  • Biological, psychological, social and spiritual factors are taken into consideration in treatment plans.

Entry into the Centre


Patients enter the Centre following referral by an accredited psychiatrist, or referral to the on-call psychiatrist who will assess the patient's needs and provide the appropriate care. The admission procedure is an integrated one, reducing the duplication of information.

The hospital is a private facility, and therefore patients will require current private health insurance or are self funded. Please contact your health fund prior to admission to ensure you understand your coverage. The Centre will inform you of any out of pocket expenses as soon as is practical.

Care Plans

After assessment, a Care plan will be designed by the team for each individual. You will be involved in the process and will be provided with a copy of the Care plan. Treatment options include physical treatment, such as medications and psychological treatment which is offered in a range of groups. The patient will complete a number of assessment forms designed to assist in deciding the best treatment plan for each individual patient. It is also useful for assessing the response to treatment by repeating the measures on discharge from hospital.

Consent

In the centre, all treatment is voluntary and will need your permission. This is called "Informed Consent". We would like you to know about your treatment. Information on treatment is available from staff. If you are not sure about your treatment, please ask. An interpreter or an independent advocate can be involved if you need one. In some cases, you may be asked to complete a consent form. You have the right to stop treatment or change your mind about treatment at any time.
