History

History of South Pacific Private
The story of South Pacific Private began centuries ago as the multigenerational disease of alcoholism weaved its way down through the generations of the families of the founders Lorraine and Bill Wood

Through their own therapeutic journey of addiction and despair Bill and Lorraine eventually found health healing and hope through a residential program at a world renown treatment centre in the desert of Arizona in the USA called The Meadows

The profound impact that this program had on their lives was such that they became deeply motivated to found a similar facility here in Australia where the need was great and treatment centres of this type as yet unknown

Pat and Pia Mellody founders of The Meadows program generously shared their program to assist Bill and Lorraine in opening South Pacific Private Hospital in 1993 on Sydneys beautiful northern beaches They continued to supported South Pacific Private with expertise and advise through the crucial early years

Over the years SPPH as it became known grew and developed South Pacific attained full accreditation with the Australian Council of Healthcare standards EQuIP program in 1994 and were the first psychiatric hospital in NSW to achieve second tier default accreditation status in 2001

In 2005 we chose to change our name from South Pacific Private Hospital to
