We are a leading provider of private mental health, rehabilitation, and specialty healthcare services in Australia.
Our origins trace back to Healthe Care Australia, once the third-largest private hospital operator in the country. After 16 successful years as part of Healthe Care, our Specialty Services business restructured in 2021 to become Aurora Healthcare. Today, our Australian operations include both standalone and integrated mental health and rehabilitation/medical hospitals, along with community-based services.
Our portfolio encompasses 17 private hospitals (14 Aurora and 3 iMH) providing inpatient and day health care services, and community mental health services located in Australia’s major cities and key regional areas. With 1,000+ mental health beds, 450+ rehabilitation/medical hospital beds, and a variety of outpatient mental health clinics and day program services, we are one of the largest private providers in Australia’s mental health and rehabilitation sectors.
Aurora Healthcare and Medibank’s Amplar Health have partnered to introduce innovative models of care through iMH—a new mental health service designed to make integrated care more accessible across Australia. United by a shared vision, both organisations are committed to expanding nationally available mental health services that combine hospital-based and community care.
iMH, which stands for integrated mental health, focuses on blending inpatient and out-of-hospital care through shorter-stay admissions. This model complements Aurora Healthcare’s traditional private mental health hospitals while broadening the scope of services offered.
Since its launch in 2023, iMH has opened three purpose-built private mental health hospitals: Deakin Private Hospital in the ACT, Hirondelle Private Hospital in NSW, and Nundah Private Hospital in Queensland. Together, these facilities represent a significant step forward in delivering flexible, patient-centred mental health care.
These developments position iMH and Aurora Healthcare as leaders in comprehensive, integrated mental health services nationwide.
