Changes I Program

Changes I is South Pacific Private’s signature workshop and is what sets us apart from other treatment centres in the country.

The Changes I program is offered as part of our inpatient program and is now offered as a standalone workshop for individuals who are in recovery and wanting to dive deeper.

This trauma-informed program using Pia Mellody’s Model of Developmental Immaturity is an experiential process incorporating group therapy, education and process work. All facilitated by our renowned, formally trained clinicians.  

In a safe and compassionate environment you will have the opportunity to explore childhood relational trauma, to process, honour and release the painful feelings that are holding you back from embracing your full potential and moving forward in your recovery

Most major health funds will cover the Changes I Program. Clients can claim via their private health fund if sufficient hospital cover is held. Please note all funds have different rules. We accept self-funded payments.

The full cost of the program for self-funded clients is $350 per day and includes morning tea and lunch.

For more information please contact our Intake Team who will arrange a health fund check and determine if there are any out-of-pocket excess expenses or gap fees.

The workshop is a 5-day intensive group running Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 3:45 pm on site at South Pacific Private, 24 Beach Street, Curl Curl.
