Seen & Trusted Across Australia:


Rehab doesn't work for executives. AA doesn't speak to them.

So we built a third option.

The TARA Clinic is Australia's specialist online outpatient addiction treatment program for high-functioning professionals.

We are clinically governed since 2017, AHPRA registered, ASES accredited, Non-religious, non-12-step, and evidence-informed.

Our clients sustain recovery years after they finish.

Tara Hurster - Registered Psychologist | Founder

 

Tara has close to 15 years of clinical experience in addiction treatment and founded The TARA Clinic in 2017. The Recovery Blueprint, the proprietary program at the heart of the clinic, addresses why addictive behaviour develops in the first place rather than simply how to stop it. The clinic is now a finalist across multiple national health and small business awards, ASES accredited, and the foundation for a broader six-pillar group strategy currently in development.
