The girl on the front desk is RUDE, LOUD and COMPLETELY INCONSIDERATE of people and their sensitivities... which is not what I would hope for a mental health care facility. I can think of a million people who could do her job better.... sort it out guys. Please.

My mum works at St John of God as a nurse. She works hard for the mothers & babies. It can be a tough job. I’m proud of her.

Would not recommend to my worse enemy! The staff are not on the same page so depends who is on how your medication will be delivered which is stinks of unprofessionalism I was put under observation level 1 which means a nurse is ment to check on me every single hour so I didnt harm my self and I was only check on once after I told the nurses that I was extremely upset and having thoughts of self harm which is a serious lack of duty of care and not surprisingly I did end up harming myself so PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE! OR IF YOU ARE THINKING OF CHECKING YOUR SELF IN LOOK ELSEWHERE! - PS the food is also terrible and none of the content that is ment to be covered is actually covered in the groups and classes! DO NOT COME HERE!

Lack of duty of care! When I discharged my self only after I had gone through the whole process I was told that I couldnt not take my medication home with me (anti-depressants, mood stabilisers sleeping medication and many more!) This was extremely destressing to me. The male nurse Gueri not sure if thats correct but Indian looking chap that told me that I could not take the meds that I bought and paid for home said that I could collect them on Monday I discharged on Friday and that left me with out medication for the entire weekend! Roll around to Monday and call up they say that no who ever told me that I cold collect them on Monday was "not telling the truth" and that I couldnt get my medication returned at all!!! Im thinking this has to be a joke but no apparently not I am appalled at the lack of duty of care of the entire place, there are drugs everywhere through out the place terrible search of belongings into the place you can get anything past them would not recommend to anyone! I will be looking at legal action to have my medication returned to me or compensation of the value of the medication plus the distress caused by your inexperienced unprofessional team!

A very good professional mental facility. Treats multiple disorders, in a caring yet supportive environment. Patients tend to be friendly and community minded. Food can be up and down, but considering the diverse patient base is of good quality for the majority of the time. Staff are supportive and caring as well as being friendly or firm when required. Beds and rooms are kept clean and maintained regularly, and fresh linen is available for patients at all times. Programs are comforting and supportive whilst still being challenging. I personally found found growth as well as calm and recovery, and enjoyed my time spent as a patient. I learnt a lot of valuable lessons which will help me cope with difficult situations. I thoroughly recommend this hospital for mental health recovery in a peaceful supportive and community minded group. The facility itself has a calming and peaceful enironment, and for those who are religious there is oastoral care as well as a chapel where either you can refkect quietly or attend the weekly services. Considering the location it is also within walking distance of Burwood for shopping or entertainment and food options.

This place is a sinking ship. The staff are unhappy, have been there too long and openly whinge about their situation. It's not about taking care of the patients anymore. They lost that a long time ago. The food is terrible now. It's a very lonely place, with staff taking no action to arrange activities for patients at night. It's designed in a very isolation format so people are separated from each other. The only place to be around other people is in the smokers place which is poorly set up right outside the back door. If you don't smoke, you'll be spending most of your time alone. The nurses are not trained in dealing with client conflict, so when patient to patient bullying occurs theres no protection. The psychologist facilitating the program had no control over the group and there was no learning taking place. It was a waste of time. I was processing trauma, which the staff didn't seem to understand and they refused to hold my hand or put an arm around me for comfort. I left two weeks early in a terrible state. much worse than when I went in. AVOID this place! I just remembered another experience I had there....in art therapy group, I started crying quietly and the staff member told me to stop crying because she didn't want me to 'set off the others'. So wrong and emotionally abusive. Really damaging. Crying is exactly what I needed to do to express my pain and heal Why the hell is she being paid to work there. I was told by other clients that she also works in the outpatient DBT program at St John of God.

A week into her stay, my family member was moved from a single room to a shared room. This apparently happens for most/all patients in the mood disorder and anxiety unit. This move was HIGHLY disruptive for my family member and made an otherwise ok experience unbearable. There are plenty of other facilities in Sydney where you are given your own room and comparable or better treatment. There’s no need to stay at SJOG.
