Alternatives to Hospitalisation
A better way to manage complex mental health challenges, without hospitalisation
Comprehensive, Community-based Support
If you, or someone you care about, is experiencing significant mental health challenges, then Clarity Health Care offers an alternative treatment option to hospitalisation.
Our hospital substitution programs, delivered with partner organisations, provide care to people with ongoing and complex psychiatric issues. Through clinic-based appointments, outreach (at-home services), telehealth, or group-based interventions, patients have access to a range of healthcare professionals.
Who This is For
Our alternative-to-hospitalisation approach is suitable for people who:
- Have a history of multiple inpatient admissions and remain at risk of re-admission.
- Need more intensive support than standard outpatient care.
- Have complex presentations requiring multidisciplinary input.
- Prefer to recover in a familiar, non-clinical setting.
If you’re unsure whether this option is right for you, we’re happy to guide you through your choices. Our psychologists in Melbourne and Hobart are always here to help.
Why Choose an Alternative to Hospitalisation?
Hospitalisation can be essential and lifesaving in many cases. But for some, an outpatient alternative offers greater comfort, flexibility, and continuity of care. With Clarity, you’ll receive expert support in a setting that supports improved quality of life for you and your family / carers.
