FAQs

Do many guests travel from Sydney to The Banyans?

The Banyans welcomes guests from across Australia, including many from Sydney and New South Wales. Our reputation for one-on-one, clinically rigorous rehabilitation has made us a trusted choice for people seeking a genuinely private and individualised program, regardless of where they are based. For guests travelling from Sydney, private transfer is available, including by private jet.

How is The Banyans different from a Sydney-based rehab?

The Banyans offers something that is genuinely difficult to replicate in an urban setting. The residence is set in the quiet of the Brisbane hinterland, providing the kind of physical and psychological distance that supports deep, focused rehabilitation. With private suites, a small number of guests at any one time, and no group therapy at any stage, your program belongs entirely to you. For many guests, the separation from their everyday environment is an important part of why it works.

What happens to my care when I return to Sydney after the program?

Your care does not stop when you leave. Up to two years of structured aftercare support is available following any residential program, including continued sessions with your treating clinicians. Through The Banyans Health Plus day programs, telehealth support is also available, meaning the clinical foundation you build here can continue to support you once you are back in Sydney.

How do I know if The Banyans is the right choice for me?

The first step is a confidential conversation with our team. There is no obligation involved. We will take time to understand your situation and help you determine whether our program is the right fit. If you are based in Sydney and have been referred by a GP or specialist, we can also liaise directly with your clinician to make the process as straightforward as possible.

Is it worth travelling from Sydney for rehabilitation?

For many of our guests, the distance is not an obstacle. It is part of the decision. Stepping away from your everyday environment, the familiar pressures, routines, and surroundings of life in Sydney, creates the kind of space that supports genuine, focused recovery. The Brisbane hinterland setting offers privacy and seclusion that is difficult to replicate closer to home.
