Dame Phyllis Frost Centre

Forensicare provides forensic mental health services at the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre (DPFC) for women which includes an outpatient program and the Marrmak unit, a custodial mental health unit.

Marrmak Unit

Within the Marrmak Unit, Forensicare provides 24-hour intensive psychiatric care and treatment for women requiring intensive mental health support. Forensicare staff provide group and individual programs that are holistic, integrated and address multiple areas of need.

Outpatient Program

The Outpatient Program provides specialist mental health services to women prisoners requiring assessment and ongoing care while they remain accommodated in the mainstream prison. The program aims to prevent an exacerbation of symptoms that would ultimately require admission or readmission to Marrmak Unit. Group based and individual interventions are provided within the program.
