Medicare covers the cost of your stay. Participants are responsible for incidental expenses like medications and therapy-related outings (e.g., meals at a restaurant or cafe).

What if I have individual needs?

Is there a waitlist?

All Ngamai Wilam Residential Program Enquiry Forms received will go through a triage process.

At times, there may be a waitlist. To support you during this time, Alfred Health has partnered with Eating Disorders Victoria (EDV) to provide additional guidance and care while you wait for an admission. This is in addition to the support you receive from your current treatment team.
