Ramsay Health Psychology Clinics to Close 17 Branches: What Will Happen to Patients?

Major closures of Ramsay’s psychology clinics threaten patient care; government plans aim to expand support amid concerns over access and delays.

Ramsay Health Care is preparing to close the majority of its psychology clinics across Australia within weeks. The move leaves thousands of patients in need of mental healthcare and support uncertain about where they will turn next, amid concerns over access and continuity of care. With high-risk groups and vulnerable individuals potentially affected, the impact is expected to be significant.

Ramsay Health Care, recognised as Australia's largest private provider of psychology services, announced plans to shut 17 of its 20 clinics by the end of August 2025. The closures will affect locations in Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, and Western Australia, including South Melbourne, Box Hill, Fortitude Valley, Ipswich, Parramatta, and West Perth. Only clinics in Cairns, Charlestown, and Joondalup will remain operational.
