A New Direction For The Sanctuary Byron Bay

We are pleased to announce that as of Wednesday, 22nd of November 2017, The Sanctuary Byron Bay has undergone a transition of ownership with Dr Robert Walsh taking the helm from departing Director, Michael Goldberg. 

Rob is a local General Practitioner with a background in Intensive Care Medicine. He has subspecialty interest in Addiction Medicine and Palliative care, and is also a Senior Lecturer for the University of Queensland and an examiner for the Australia College of Rural and Remote Medicine. Rob has been associated with The Sanctuary Byron Bay for many years, as a leading doctor within The Sanctuary’s integrated multidisciplinary treatment teams.

Throughout this transition and thereafter, The Sanctuary Byron Bay will continue to offer confidential, integrated multi-disciplinary treatment programs, delivered entirely one-to-one, with an entire team of selected practitioners at your service.  No groups, no shared facilities.

Holistic Treatment of Drug & Alcohol Addiction, Anxiety & Depression

• We are the first treatment centre in the world to offer intensive one-to-one attention with multi-disciplinary therapies in a luxury setting;
• We lead the treatment field in treating sensitive and complex conditions;
• We bring together leading multi-disciplinary therapists and ensure they all work together as an integrated treatment team coordinated by expert clinical consultants;
• Our approach is holistic, combining the best of allopathic and complementary medical traditions;
• All our practitioners and therapists meet and liase regularly, with every clinical decision supported, endorsed and complemented by each and every other member of the team;
• However exclusive a facility may claim to be and however much a group agrees to be bound by confidentiality, information inevitably leaks out - but at The Sanctuary Byron Bay your privacy and peace of mind is our guarantee. You are housed in your own luxury private residence. You will never meet another Sanctuary client and your presence with us will never be disclosed;
• Throughout your stay, you'll never be alone (unless you wish to be). A highly experienced personal support team offer constant support and encouragement;
• Although we have treated nobility, politicians, CEOs and celebrities from around the world, we remain completely discreet and confidential. Not one client has ever been confirmed as being in our care;
• Our aim is nothing short of healing your whole being - your body, mind and deepest sense of self - in utmost privacy and comfort.
