iMH expands to Brisbane, marking a new era for mental health treatment in Queensland

Announced today, iMH a joint venture between Amplar Health and Aurora Healthcare, will open its third mental health hospital in Brisbane in late 2024. The expansion further solidifies iMH’s commitment to revolutionising mental healthcare delivery across Australia.

The new 58 bed hospital in Brisbane follows the successful openings of Deakin Private Hospital in Canberra and Hirondelle Private Hospital in Sydney. Situated in Nundah, the Queensland hospital will adopt iMH’s innovative integrated mental health model, offering in-hospital care alongside expanded support services in home and community settings.

“Our aim is to provide great access, choice and flexibility in mental health services,” stated Rob Read, Group Lead at Amplar Health. “Our unique model focusses on providing flexible care pathways, including a spectrum of out-of-hospital services such as in-home care and care coordination. By extending care beyond hospital walls, we empower patients to achieve longer-term recovery while receiving optimal support in their preferred environment.”

With a combined capacity of 155 mental health beds across the country and comprehensive out-of-hospital support, iMH is well positioned to address the growing demand for accessible and innovative mental healthcare solutions.
