  Want to get better? I'd go somewhere else. 10/10 would not recommend this "friendly" hospital.

  Day programs are hit or miss depending on who's running them. They have you do a weekly DAS questionnaire & I was always at the upper level yet these were never discussed by the psychiatrists treating you so if you are "at the end of your rope", noone would take notice...sth coast private is more interested in making money by placing you into multiple day programs than by actually taking a holistic approach to patient care.. .it's a MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY yet your concerns and your pleading for help falls on deaf ears...management is probably pushing the psychiatrists and psychologists to put profits above patient outcomes so I kinda feel a little sorry for the staff - but i shouldn't because their duty of care is towards the patient -NOT the profit margin. I have been chasing up an anti depressant script that my "psychiatrist" insisted i try without ANY ongoing monitoring of tolerance - and i am STILL waiting for a script. So, in the interim, I have run out and gone through shocking withdrawals. I will be going to the HCCC as i am disgusted at the lack of follow up, let alone an integrative approach to patient care. Like someone else said previously, look elsewhere for your mental health care needs. South coast private is the poster - child for everything that is wrong in mental health care in this country. You all sold out and should be ashamed & stripped of your "professional" memberships.

  With a manual on stress &a anxiety being handed to you to read. One hour of concealing 4 days out of 7 then do as you please. What a waste of time. Good if you want to go to view the sights.

  I have read the reviews. If you think you can find a better mental health hospital well go to it. I have been going to this one for years. It is outstanding. And I have been to many in Sydney. Unless I can get into SCP I will wait till they have a room. The whole hospital is outstanding and of course there will be some problems EVERY provider has problems. And understand this we the people writing the reviews are mentally ill and can at times be confused. Do NOT judge this hospital on your first admission.
