I am Dr. Alan Altham, the Clinical Director and Principal Psychiatrist at Bluewater Health.

The clinic's inception was driven by a fundamental idea: to ensure that individuals residing in rural and remote areas could access top-tier psychiatric care without the need to travel to Perth.

This journey has been extraordinary, and it has been my privilege to support a diverse group of individuals from across Australia.

Our services have garnered significant demand, a development that is beyond what we ever expected. However, it has posed challenges in terms of maintaining the level of care and attention that I hold paramount.

After much deliberation, I have decided to suspend accepting new patients temporarily. I trust that you appreciate this decision as it allows us to maintain the quality of care for our existing patients.

Rest assured, this adjustment will not disrupt the ongoing care of our existing patients and, we hope, will only need to be temporary. If you are a psychiatrist looking to join who agrees with our ethos, please feel free to contact me.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we strive to uphold our dedication to delivering exceptional psychiatric services to our valued patients.
