WHAT WE ACTUALLY HOLD
690 services are listed and 302 of them publish that they offer residential rehabilitation. 85 are privately owned companies; the rest are government, charity, not-for-profit, Aboriginal community controlled or religious organisations. These are the services we have published, not a census of the country — there is no register that would let anyone claim one.
71 services take their enquiries through us, and those are the only ones we earn from. 71 carry a price band for a 28-day stay, though only 8 publish a rate we can stand behind — the rest are estimated from what each facility publishes about itself and labelled as estimates wherever a referrer sees them.
No service in Australia publishes live bed availability, so nothing here can tell you who has a place this week. Admission-risk information — psychosis, self-harm, violence, pregnancy — is published by almost nobody, which is why every comparison ends in a list of questions for the admissions team rather than a recommendation.
None of this improves until providers claim their profiles and fill it in. That is what the provider portal is for, and it is being built now.
HOW IT WORKS FOR YOU
Free, and no client details are needed to open one. It is what separates the public directory from the workspace — the clinical and admission fields are not published to a general audience, and an account is how we know who is reading them.
263 more than the public side, across 17 groups rather than 10 — clinical cover, admission risk, rules and daily life, therapies and special considerations. Filter by any of them to work out which programme, and which location, will actually take your client.
The full comparison, including the programme costs the public side no longer shows and every field a provider has left blank. Your client chooses; enquiries for private residential and detox go through us, every other service you contact directly.
REGISTER IN A MINUTE
Anyone can browse the directory. An account is what opens the other 263 filters, the programme costs, saved shortlists, printable reports for a case file, and straight-through referrals to the providers you choose.
