Do you want to provide contemporary mental health care to women? Are you interested in being part of something new? Do you want to see mental health care delivered in a different way?
Ramsay Mental Health is excited to be collaborating with Alfred Health and Goulburn Valley Health to provide the Women’s Recovery Network (WREN).
About the Women’s Recovery Network (WREN)
WREN is an innovative service developed in response to the Royal Commission recommendations for partnerships between the public and private sector, and the need for gender segregation and sexually safe units. We recognise that women experiencing mental ill-health have specific needs that differ from their male counterparts that require tailored treatment and support. Located at Ramsay Clinic Albert Road, the clinic is owned and operated by Ramsay Health Care, a global operator of private hospitals and primary care clinics with 73 Australian sites employing over 30,000 people.
