Dr Garel’s work — including the Montreal Model — has gained global attention for its impact on improving outcomes for people living with treatment‑resistant depression. Recently featured in Health e‑News, his research continues to influence modern psychiatric practice across North America and Europe.
This visit represents a significant opportunity for clinicians across the Aurora network to engage directly with one of the world’s leading voices in contemporary mental health care.
Bringing Global Expertise to the Aurora Network
Through a well‑established professional connection with one of our Belmont Private Hospital psychiatrists, who trained under Dr Garel in Berlin, Aurora Healthcare is able to bring this rare expertise directly to our broader clinical community.
This connection allows psychiatrists across our network to learn from a global leader whose frameworks and insights are shaping the future of mental health care internationally. It’s a powerful example of how Aurora leverages global knowledge to strengthen local practice across all our hospitals and services.
A Unique Opportunity for Aurora Psychiatrists
This workshop offers psychiatrists from across the Aurora network the opportunity to:
- Deepen their understanding of emerging medication therapies for treatment‑resistant depression

This is where innovation meets best clinical practice and expertise — and where Aurora clinicians can continue to grow in a supportive, future‑focused environment.

Shaping the Future of Mental Health Care in Australia
