Outpatient care
Uspace
Uspace offers appointments with our clinical psychologists and psychiatrists, known as outpatient care, for both former patients and wider community members.
Referral process
To start the booking process for all psychiatrist and clinical psychologist appointments, please email a copy of your GP referral letter to Uspacepractice@svha.org.au.
This referral is then sent onto one of the clinicians for approval. Once approved, the practice manager will contact you to make an appointment. Please allow up to two weeks for this process to be finalised as the specialists manage a high volume of referrals.
During your first visit, we’ll talk to you about how we work, the importance of confidentiality and how you’re involved in treatment decisions. If you have any questions prior to your first appointment however, please contact us.
For parents and carers
At Uspace, we understand that seeking mental health services for your children can be fraught with fears and frustrations. We are committed to working with you, and other health professionals involved, to work out if our services are suitable.
During late adolescence and early adulthood, access to specialised mental health services is extremely limited, that’s why Uspace was the first purpose-built private mental health inpatient service for young adults in Australia. With the addition of our Day Program Services and the inclusion of consultation rooms, Uspace has a range of interventions and services specifically intended to respond to the needs of young adults experiencing mental ill health.
Please feel free to contact us, using the details below, to determine if our services will meet the needs of you and your child.
