Over recent months, GPs, psychologists and community partners have highlighted growing and changing mental health needs in the Nepean and Blue Mountains region. Local health reports reflect the same trend, noting increased demand for support relating to anxiety, mood disorders, addictions and adult ADHD. At the same time, reduced availability of some community-based mental health services across Sydney has led to longer wait times for certain types of support programs and care. In response, the mental health team at Matilda Nepean has expanded its range of private, group day therapy programs to offer more local pathways for people seeking structured support. New and forthcoming group day therapy programs at Matilda Nepean will include: • Adult ADHD • Addictions recovery • Relapse prevention and recovery • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) • Trauma, mood and anxiety presentations (ongoing programs continuing) These specialist programs will also be available to inpatients as needed. This expansion reflects feedback from local clinicians and Matilda Nepean’s commitment to providing accessible, multidisciplinary mental health day therapy programs close to home for people living in the Nepean and Blue Mountains region. These programs will commence from early 2026, with further details to be shared in the new year. If you are a GP, psychologist or mental health professional seeking advice about patient suitability, referrals or intake pathways, our mental health intake coordinators are always available to assist.

As the year draws to a close, many psychiatrists take a moment to pause and reflect — on their work, their balance, and what they want from the year ahead. For early-career psychiatrists, those questions can carry extra weight. After years of training and demanding workloads, it’s easy to stay on the same path without the space to consider whether it’s still right for you — professionally or personally. At Matilda Nepean, we offer psychiatrists an opportunity to practise differently: to deliver meaningful, evidence-based care within a supportive multidisciplinary team, and to build a career that fits your professional goals and personal life. Located within the Penrith Health Precinct at Kingswood, Matilda Nepean provides inpatient and day therapy programs supported by psychologists, mental-health nurses, and allied-health professionals. Flexible VMO models allow psychiatrists to shape their work week, focus on patient care, and maintain balance outside the hospital. If you’re taking time this summer to think about the next step in your career, we’d welcome a confidential discussion or a tour of our facilities. Sometimes a change of place can make a lasting difference in how your work — and your life — feels.

For many psychiatrists, the work is deeply meaningful — but the system can be exhausting. Balancing patient care, administrative pressures, and limited flexibility often leaves little room to pause, reflect, or simply breathe. At Matilda Nepean, we believe great care starts with a supportive environment — one that allows psychiatrists to practise with purpose, clarity, and balance. Our hospital-based mental health facility, located within the Penrith Health Precinct at Kingswood, is purpose-built for sub-acute mental health care. We offer inpatient and day therapy programs supported by an experienced multidisciplinary team, including psychologists, nurses, and allied health professionals. Here, psychiatrists find a flexible, sustainable model of private practice — one that enables you to shape your work week, focus on patient care, and be part of a close-knit team that values collaboration and wellbeing. Whether you’re early in your career or seeking to re-balance your professional life, we’ll support you to build a career that fits your goals — with the mentorship, infrastructure, and stability to thrive long term. If you’re ready to explore what your next chapter in psychiatry could look like, we invite you to book a confidential 1:1 tour of our facilities or speak directly with our leadership team.

For many psychiatrists, finding the right balance between meaningful work and personal wellbeing can feel like a constant juggle. The idea of stepping into private practice may sound rewarding, but also daunting — raising questions about stability, workload, and support. At Matilda Nepean, we’ve created a supported pathway for psychiatrists — particularly those early in their careers — to step into private practice with confidence. Here, you’ll find the flexibility to shape your work week, the professional satisfaction of building your own practice, and the reassurance of being supported by a highly experienced team. Our purpose-built hospital within the Penrith Health Precinct at Kingswood is just two years young and offers: ✔️ Best-in-class consulting suites and treatment facilities ✔️ Access to inpatient and day therapy programs ✔️ Neurostimulation therapies including rTMS and ECT ✔️ A high-growth region with significant unmet mental health needs ✔️ The flexibility of VMO arrangements to support work–life balance You’ll be supported not only by a collegiate team of senior consultant psychiatrists, but also by a highly experienced multidisciplinary mental health team — including nurses, psychologists, and allied health professionals — who provide 24/7 on-the-ground care tailored to patients’ needs. This ensures continuity of care for patients, and peace of mind for psychiatrists. If you’re curious about how private practice can work for you — without sacrificing balance — we invite you to book a private 1:1 tour of our facilities with an option to meet our team. Tours take about 30 minutes and can be arranged at your convenience, with undercroft parking available onsite.

As awareness of adult ADHD continues to grow, GPs and psychologists are increasingly encountering patients with complex presentations — co-occurring mood issues, anxiety, work-life conflicts, and neurodiversity patterns that require more than a standard one-on-one consult. In Australia, it’s estimated that adult ADHD affects between two and six per cent of the population. Many individuals remain undiagnosed or untreated, creating significant clinical burden and opportunity for earlier intervention and structured care. At Matilda Nepean, we are responding with a six-week day therapy program for adults living with ADHD at our Kingswood facility in the Penrith Health Precinct. Designed specifically for adults, the group program is facilitated by clinical psychologists and draws on a neuro-diversity affirming, strength-based approach — helping participants to: Better understand how their brain and executive function work Develop practical tools and strategies for everyday challenges Build confidence, self-management skills and sustainable routines We warmly invite GPs and psychologists in the Nepean-Blue Mountains and Western Sydney catchment to consider this group program as an adjunct pathway for your patients who would benefit from structured day-therapy, while you maintain oversight of their overall program of care. Private health fund cover is available (with the exception of NIB). For patients without eligible cover, a self-funded rate of $200 per session applies. A GP or psychologist referral is required. If you’d like to discuss referral pathways, eligibility or explore a tour of our facility, please contact our mental health team on tel: 8123 6790 or via email: [email protected] Ref: https://lnkd.in/gz5vTXJ8
