Deakin Private Hospital opened in Canberra in 2023, bringing specialist private mental health care to the ACT for the first time. We were built on a simple belief: that Canberrans deserve access to expert mental health treatment without having to travel interstate.
We are a dedicated private psychiatric hospital offering inpatient, day therapy and outpatient care for adults across the ACT. Our multidisciplinary team includes psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses and allied health professionals with deep experience in mental health care. We treat a wide range of conditions — from depression and anxiety to PTSD, personality disorders and complex trauma.
We take an evidence-based, holistic approach to mental health treatment. This means we treat the whole person — considering physical health, relationships, life circumstances and personal history alongside the presenting condition. Recovery isn't just about symptom reduction; it's about building a life worth living.
We meet every person with warmth, empathy and genuine care — never judgment.
We are committed to evidence-based practice and continuous improvement in everything we do.
We honour the dignity, autonomy and individuality of every person in our care.
We work together — clinicians, patients and families — because the best outcomes happen in partnership.
Deakin Private Hospital is located at 63 Denison Street, Deakin ACT 2600 — easily accessible from across Canberra and the surrounding region, with parking available on site.
