The Banyans’ compassionate medical and health professionals are fully qualified and experienced, underpinning their programs' renowned outstanding clinical reputation and excellence. Clients are supported in their healing with an integrated team, including a Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Nutritionist, Dietitian, Chef, Exercise Physiologist, Yoga Therapist, Equine Therapist, Music Therapist, Art Therapist, as well as nursing and wellness coach staff.

Guaranteeing confidential treatment, The Banyans work with guests in one-on-one therapeutic relationships for focused recovery. From clients’ psychologist to their exercise physiologist, each facet of therapy is wholly exclusive. With up to seven sessions per day with an individual therapist, and a maximum capacity of ten guests, staff-to-client ratios are low, ensuring each guest gets the personalised care they deserve. In addition, Residential Programs with The Banyans vary from intensified, comprehensive programs over several weeks to "rest and refresh" programs offering a restorative mini vacation.
Due to the world-class reputation of their programs and the advantage of a secluded recovery in a destination outside their everyday lives, guests from all over the world choose The Banyans. They can transport themselves away from the stress and triggers of home, and transform their wellbeing in an environment of clinical excellence. Located in the popular tourist destination of Brisbane, Queensland, The Banyans luxury residence is nestled within sublime and secluded mountains and lakes. Regular off-site recreation and sightseeing allows guests to heal alongside the power of nature. With an abundance of beaches and forests on their doorstep, ready to explore, many guests choose to holiday locally following their program. Take advantage of The Banyans private and secluded location and find clarity in paradise.
The Banyans luxury residence offers a boutique, hotel-like experience, accommodating just ten guests at a time in individual suites. Guests enjoy chef-prepared meals, a large infinity pool with spectacular views, spacious lounges, an industry-equipped gym, a yoga studio, equine therapy, music and art therapy, and a day spa. All housekeeping is taken care of so guests can focus solely on their recovery journey.
Some circumstances in life may make it difficult to travel to The Banyans’ luxury residence. Instead, clients can experience the certainty of an expert team at home. The Banyans’ digitally delivered fourteen-day recovery and rehabilitation programs provide support and telehealth treatment for mental health and dependency concerns (that can be managed in this setting). The Banyans at Home package will deliver the professional support and skills clients need to rediscover the fullness of life.
The Banyans believe work, family or other commitments shouldn't be a barrier to treatment. Therefore, their Brisbane-based Day Program allows guests to seek mental health, addiction, and eating disorder treatment while balancing life's demands. Designed to offer the intensity and effectiveness of their Residential Programs, The Banyans’ Day Program offers the flexibility and convenience of attending one day per week (for up to eight weeks).
The Banyans can offer airport transfers to their residence and recommend local hotels. Should clients require detox services, The Banyans can also manage these services through their partner facilities. The Banyans work with one of the largest aircraft charter companies in the world to facilitate private jet charters for our guests. If you are interested in chartering an aircraft for your travel to Queensland, our team will connect you with their concierge service.
