Forensicare (Victorian Institute of Forensic Mental Health) is Victoria’s leading provider of forensic mental health care. We work to meet the needs of consumers with serious mental illnesses across the justice system, mental health sectors and the community.

As a secure hospital, we have special entry requirements in place for all visitors. To make your visit easier we have prepared a Visitor Information Sheet, which you can access here.

We encourage you to read through this Information Sheet prior to your first visit, to ensure you are familiar with the requirements and processes. If you need more information about visiting Thomas Embling Hospital, please call our Reception staff on 9495 9100. Posted 17 December 2024

We deliver a range of mental health programs targeted at patients with different needs at different stages of recovery; from early intervention and prevention, inpatient care, rehabilitation and community transition support.
