PTSD & Trauma Support Unit

Specialist PTSD and trauma inpatient care for military personnel, veterans and first responders in Canberra ACT. A dedicated unit with experienced clinicians.

Deakin Private Hospital's PTSD & Trauma Support Unit was created specifically for military personnel, veterans and first responders in Canberra and across Australia.

We understand that asking for help can feel like a sign of weakness. It isn't. It takes enormous courage, and we'll meet that courage with the expertise and respect you deserve.

A dedicated space to heal 

Our PTSD & Trauma Support Unit provides a structured, evidence-based inpatient program in a safe and confidential environment. Your clinicians understand the culture and pressures of service so you don't need to explain yourself from scratch. Treatment draws on trauma-informed therapies including CPT, EMDR and group therapy with peers who understand.
