Aurora Healthcare lists Kellyville Private Hospital as a mental health hospital at 3 McCausland Place in Kellyville, New South Wales. The operator describes inpatient and day therapy services. This independent guide uses the hospital’s current name and explains its published care options, referral process and payment questions.
Match the referral to the care setting
Aurora’s service information lists specialties including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and addictive disorders. Ask the assessment team which specific ward or programme would address the person’s main needs. Confirm the relevant age criteria, whether the proposed care involves overnight admission or scheduled day attendance, and which clinician will oversee treatment.
These practical details affect transport, work, family responsibilities and support at home. Ask for the expected timetable and how the team reviews progress. If a person has both substance-use and other mental health needs, explain both during assessment so the proposed service can be considered as a whole.
How inpatient referrals work
The hospital’s inpatient admissions guidance says a doctor or specialist should refer the patient to a psychiatrist who has admitting rights there. Its assessment team describes a telephone assessment and a health-fund check, followed by review with a treating psychiatrist. Once a referral is accepted, the hospital arranges admission and the psychiatrist oversees treatment.
Ask which records the team needs before that review and provide an accurate list of current medicines. Confirm the admission time and transport arrangements with the coordinator. An initial enquiry is the start of the assessment process; the team should confirm the individual admission plan before travel is arranged.
Clarify costs before committing
The fees and accounts information describes payment routes involving private health insurance, self-funding, eligible Department of Veterans’ Affairs patients and approved workers-compensation claims. Eligibility and coverage depend on the individual circumstances. The hospital says it provides an estimate of expenses as part of informed financial consent.
Request a written estimate for the proposed service. Ask about any excess or co-payment, separate psychiatrist and medication charges, the authorised period of treatment, and how continuing day therapy would be funded. Confirm payment requirements directly with the hospital and the relevant insurer or funding body.
Compare services by their clinical purpose
Our Australia treatment guide explains questions to ask when comparing private hospitals, day programmes and residential care. For an example focused on adult alcohol and drug treatment elsewhere in New South Wales, see Freeman House in Armidale. Its operator, Vinnies, describes medical withdrawal support and voluntary residential rehabilitation for adults. This illustrates a different service model from Kellyville’s mental health hospital and day programmes; compare the clinical purpose, location and admission criteria with the treating professional.
Before leaving any programme, ask who will arrange follow-up appointments, maintain medication continuity where relevant, and communicate with existing clinicians with consent.
