When care pathways are overwhelmed, patients may face extended wait times, and the weight of clinical risk rests heavily on referrers.
At Avive, we aim to simplify access. Our referral process is designed to support timely inpatient mental health care.
One referral – and where appropriate, we work to share the load promptly, helping safeguard both your patient and your peace of mind.
The Gaps That Leave Patients at Risk
Endless Waitlists, Rising Risk
Critical patients are left waiting for weeks, sometimes months, while symptoms escalate and stability erodes. Time that should be spent in recovery is lost in limbo.
Breakdowns in Communication
Delays in receiving updates can hinder continuity of care. When communication is fragmented, it becomes harder to support your patient’s ongoing needs.
Financial Hurdles May Delay Timely Treatment
Gaps in health cover can postpone access to appropriate care, increasing stress and clinical risk. Navigating funding should not be a barrier to support.
Gaps in Discharge and Follow-Up Planning
When aftercare is unclear or fragmented, the risk of relapse increases. Coordinated post-discharge support is key to sustaining progress.
Avive is committed to changing that. We work to minimise delays, bridge communication and care gaps, and support ongoing recovery, effectively. One referral, timely inpatient care options, fully funded by eligible private health cover.
When mental health care is delayed, the responsibility of holding the line often falls back on you. Long waitlists, inconsistent communication, and limited inpatient options can leave you managing risk without the right support. That’s challenging – and not sustainable.
At Avive, we aim to reduce barriers to private mental health care with timely access pathways, coordinated communication, and updates throughout the process. One referral – and where appropriate, admission may be arranged within days. You stay informed, and your patient receives comprehensive, clinician-led care within a supported system.
Avive offers timely access to private inpatient care, clinician-led programs, and coordinated support – so you can focus on your expertise, with confidence in the next steps for your patients.
For urgent referrals, we aim to arrange admission within days. Our team supports private admission processes with minimal delays, subject to clinical and eligibility criteria.
We support eligible patients in accessing care with no-gap cover options, including immediate mental health fund upgrades where applicable.

When your patient is admitted to Avive, you’re not just handing over care, you’re ensuring the highest standard of psychiatric treatment available.
When access to mental health care is delayed, it may become harder for patients to maintain stability. Symptoms can worsen, risks may increase, and the responsibility often shifts back to you. In urgent situations, timely referral pathways – like those at Avive – can help ensure patients get the support they need, without unnecessary delays.
