The Allan Labor Government has officially opened the brand-new Cranbourne Community Hospital - delivering modern and local healthcare for families in one of Victoria's fastest-growing regions.
Operated by Monash Health, the three-storey hospital will provide a range of everyday health services and take pressure off nearby major hospitals including Casey Hospital.
Services currently delivered at the Cranbourne Integrated Care Centre will relocate to the purpose-built facility, giving the community access to state-of-the-art healthcare infrastructure.
To ensure the highest standards of care, the Cranbourne Community Hospital will open services in stages, starting in October with dialysis, pharmacy, pathology and adult mental health services.
Additional services including aged community care, child, youth and family services and Early in Life Mental Health Services will become available in the coming weeks, and the next stage will include dental, audiology, and ophthalmology clinics for the public.
The hospital also includes flexible clinical spaces that will allow Monash Health to adapt services over time to meet local needs.
Strong links with specialists, community health providers and social support services will ensure seamless follow-up care for patients requiring more complex treatment.
The Victorian Budget 2025/26 includes $16.81 million for Cranbourne Community Hospital, with a total of $51.93 million over four years.
The Cranbourne Community Hospital located at 6 Lehman Lane Cranbourne East will operate extended hours from 7.00am to 8.00pm, Monday to Saturday.
As stated by Minister for Health Mary-Anne Thomas
"The opening of the Cranbourne Community Hospital marks a major milestone in our commitment to delivering better healthcare closer to home for Victorians."
"We're proud to be investing in local healthcare infrastructure that supports integrated, person-centred care and meets the growing demand in one of Victoria's fastest-growing regions."
As stated by Member for Cranbourne Pauline Richards
"This is a huge win for Cranbourne families - having a modern, local hospital means people can access high-quality care they deserve close to home."
