Care when you need us

Private psychiatric hospitals care for 42,000 Australians with mental illness every year.

APHA staff have returned to the Secretariat office in a staggered capacity and not all staff are on-site every day.

Staff will be in the office to answer your calls on Wednesday and Thursday. On other days of the week, if you know the mobile number of the person you wish to contact, please call them.

Otherwise, contact:
info@apha.org.au to have your query directed immediately.
