Professor Marie Bashir Centre

I've been to quite a few Psychiatric wards through my 22 years living with chronic mental illness and this is by far the best Sydney has to offer. Western Sydney is just horrid. The mental health system is overwhelming broken and the government have failed us. If you are unwell this is the only place I would take myself or a loved one. The rest of them are akin to a prison, and have barely evolved past labotomies.

Australia needs to do better.

5 stars - would recommend. Rooms are spacious and clean with sweeping views. The concierge and staff are just wonderful. Decor leaves something to be desired but overall I had a pleasant stay. Affordable accommodation, though the exit was EXTREMELY difficult to find.

My experience at Marie Bashir was a positive one. A spacious area with spaces to relax (3 lounge areas and a well thought out retreat room). Activities are encouraged here varying from art, to meditating, to cooking, it is clear personal development are their priority. While the food provided isn't in accord to restaurant standards, variations of meat and vegetables are provided, and other nutritionally appropriate meals The nurses here are incredibly passionate and caring, focusing on the patient's future plans and attending their needs when required. Except Mel, she clearly is one crazy lady that needs to take a chill pill i mean damn why she in terminator mode seriously! Special mention to nurse Jess as she is an impeccable nurse. Such effort she puts in for all the patients that should be rewarded as manager. Overall, the centre is an empowering experience, where recovery is possible. Five stars!

I have not been inside this facility but have worked on the same street for several years. A large and imposing building, it is set well back from the street with parking at the front. Greenery exists amongst the parking with low fencing that is well used by lunching locals. The greenery and open space at the front improve the amenity of what is a densely built-up neighbourhood. Our compassionate and generous public health care system is well displayed by the provision of this ultra modern facility for the vulnerable patients who utilise it's services.

The Team
Thank you very much for all your diligent care you bestowed on my son Daniel Justin. It was marvelously comforting to see him in your care and so stable. I do not have enough words to thank God and you.
Our family wish you all a joyous Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

By far the best short stay mental health clinic in Sydney! The doctors consult with not only the patient but also the family. We are so thankful he made it to this Centre and was put in the right direction. He’s so well now. Thank you to the nurses and doctors.

Merry Christmas to all the intervention team at Marie Bashir, it is great to see how each of the staff members shows a continuous genuine act and as requested each time and every time they serve you as an In-Patient (as being an in-patient for a period of weeks) was a very good experience along with the good meals they serve each bre/lun/din with snacks being available 24/7.

Medication is free of course and they even offer patches to stop and reduce smoking as it shares a smoke free policy.

If life ever makes you get thrown, pushed, walked or voluntarily nudged in the direction of this place, the Marie Bashier team will really support your recovery, even the involuntary service offered which is the same as usual service no losses with that.

Merry Christmas

The culture at PMBC really strives for a certain standard and the fitout of the building makes a huge difference to morale. The best place I've worked at thus far.

I rang the Marie Bashir Centre and was helped by Melany, she was most helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

I poo near here very comfy toilets although the water was high and tickled

A big thank you to all. You're a wonderful team and our family is most grateful for your kind attention and care of our daughter :)

Staff are excellent, thank you for looking after my brother, the facilities are great and the care even better, thank you so much...
