Calvary St Luke's Hospital
Mental health services in Launceston
Welcome to the Calvary Clinic
The Calvary Clinic is a private mental health facility designed to provide compassionate, personalised care in a supportive environment.
Located at the St Luke's Hospital campus in Launceston, our 12-bed unit offers specialised inpatient services for individuals seeking mental health treatment.
Our clinic operates as an open unit, meaning patients can leave the unit for walks or visits when their treatment team agrees it's helpful for their recovery. The Calvary Clinic is designed for people who are ready to engage voluntarily in their healing process, and are ready to take part in creating their own treatment plan with our team.
