CRANBOURNE, VIC. — Cranbourne Community Hospital has been officially opened.
Operated by Monash Health, the three-storey hospital will provide a range of everyday health services and take pressure off nearby major hospitals.
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.
The Cranbourne Community Hospital will open services in stages, starting this month with dialysis, pharmacy, pathology and adult mental health services.
Additional services include aged community care, child, youth and family services. Early in Life Mental Health Services will become available in the coming weeks.
The next stage will include dental, audiology, and ophthalmology clinics.
The hospital also includes flexible clinical spaces that will allow Monash Health to adapt services 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 State 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 7am to 8pm, Monday to Saturday.
Mary-Anne Thomas, Minister for Health, said: “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.”
