Access Private Mental Health Treatment Using Your Superannuation

Programs at The Banyans are built entirely around one person. If the cost of a program designed to that standard has been a barrier, superannuation funding may change that.

A program built entirely around one person. Clinically rigorous. Completely private.

At The Banyans, the clinical program is constructed around a single person – you. It’s not a fixed curriculum delivered to a rotating intake, its an integrated, one-on-one model that begins with a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment: examining the medical, psychological, social, and physical dimensions of what brought you here, and building a program that addresses all of them.

Your clinical team spans psychiatry, psychology, GP and medical care, dietetics, exercise physiology, and registered nursing available around the clock. Treatment draws on a range of evidence-based modalities – cognitive behavioural therapy, schema therapy, EMDR, mindfulness-based approaches, and SMART Recovery, selected specifically for your presentation. Where clinically indicated, pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing and whole-body MRI screening add a further layer of clinical precision.

The hinterland setting is part of the program

The Brisbane hinterland estate removes the noise, the obligations, and the triggers of daily life. That removal is the clinical counterpoint to what most people arrive carrying. When there is nothing to manage, nothing to perform, and nowhere to be, the work becomes possible.

There are no group therapy sessions. No shared clinical spaces. Every interaction is one-on-one, with a team that knows your case in full, because there is only one.

Integrated Biopsychosocial Care

Psychiatry, psychology, GP, dietetics, exercise physiology, and 24/7 registered nursing. Each discipline informing the others within a single, individually constructed program.

Multimodal Evidence-based Therapy

CBT, schema therapy, EMDR, mindfulness-based approaches, SMART Recovery, and PGx-informed prescribing. Selected for your specific presentation, sequenced for your progress.

A Setting That Removes Distraction

The hinterland estate creates the conditions the clinical work requires. No obligations, no performance, no exposure. The calm is part of the program.

Aftercare Program Built Before You Leave

Structured wrap-around care continues for up to two years post-discharge. Clinician-to-clinician handover, early check-in calls, and a continuing care plan built specifically for you, not a generic referral letter.

Which programs can be funded through superannuation?

Every program at The Banyans follows the same model, one-on-one, individually constructed, and clinically comprehensive. Superannuation funding is available across all three pathways.

As such, you may have to wait until a guest leaves our residence before you can arrive, however this can be readily discussed with our Intake Team.
