Referral Process

Belmont Private Hospital is an Authorised Mental Health Service providing treatment under the Queensland Mental Health Act.  Please note Belmont is not an Acute Care Facility and if your patient is in acute crisis or actively suicidal please contact your local Emergency Department.
