Who We Are:

The Roy Fagan Centre (RFC) is Tasmania’s statewide specialised inpatient mental health facility for older persons, and part of Older Person’s Mental Health Service (OPMHS). We provide compassionate, person-centred care to individuals experiencing acute mental ill health, neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia, and complex psychiatric conditions. Our multidisciplinary team works across four purpose-built units, each designed to support dignity, safety, and therapeutic engagement.

What We Do:

We deliver:

• Acute psychiatric care

• Dementia and neuropsychiatric treatment

• Geriatric rehabilitation

• Palliative and end-of-life care

• Rehabilitation and recovery-focused programs

• Support for families, carers, and community transitions

Our patients are older Tasmanians age 65+, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50+, who require specialised mental health support. We also support individuals with young-onset neurodegenerative conditions.

• Flexibility and inclusivity

• Transparency and teamwork

• Holistic and trauma-informed care

We foster a welcoming, non-clinical environment where music, nature, and creativity are part of everyday life. Staff are encouraged to personalise spaces, build meaningful relationships, and support consumers with empathy and respect.

To further enrich our culture, we actively implement the My Home Life program—an evidence-based approach that promotes quality of life for people living and working in care settings. Through this program, we focus on:

• Enhancing positive communication between staff, consumers, and families

• Strengthening relational care and emotional connection

• Encouraging shared decision-making and reflectiv
