Psychiatry Clinic

Sunshine Clinic Private Hospital welcomes patients (18 years and older) with a range of mental health conditions seeking an outpatient consultation with one of our psychiatrists.

We offer modern, comfortable, dedicated consulting suites with experienced psychiatrists who have varying sub-speciality areas of expertise.
