Avive Health - Brisbane

Designed around the needs of each patient, Avive Health Brisbane delivers mental healthcare through inpatient care, day programs, and outpatient psychiatry. The 63-bed private hospital treats mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, and substance use disorders, with tailored programming for women, veterans, defence personnel, emergency service workers, and first responders. Located just outside Brisbane’s CBD, the hospital sits near the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital within the Herston Quarter precinct.

Build Skills Through Evidence-Based Care

Avive Health Brisbane helps patients understand what affects their mental health while practicing ways to manage symptoms in daily life. Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, group therapy, and therapeutic art. Patients learn to recognize triggers, manage difficult emotions, communicate more effectively, and develop coping strategies for life after treatment. Specialized trauma programs support those affected by military, occupational, or early-life experiences, while transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is available when appropriate.

Recover in a Thoughtfully Designed Space

During an inpatient stay, patients have a private room with an ensuite bathroom and receive nutritious, chef-prepared meals. Between therapy sessions, they can exercise in the gym or fitness studio, spend time on the rooftop deck, create art, or relax in shared lounges. At the heart of the hospital is Skilmorlie Residence, a heritage-listed home built in 1873, preserving part of the site’s long history of community connection within a modern mental health setting.
