The Service
Catherine’s House for Mothers, Babies and Families is Queensland’s first integrated perinatal mental health service, featuring a dedicated In-patient Unit with 10 rooms.
There are eight rooms for public patients and two for private patients where parents can stay with their babies while receiving treatment and care.
The In-patient Unit delivers specialist support for parents experiencing severe depression, anxiety and other mental health diagnoses in the first year of their baby’s arrival.
Co-designed by parents with lived experience and a multidisciplinary team of health professionals, the In-patient Unit offers parents and families a safe space for healing, recovery and connection while improving their mental health and relationship with their baby.
