Have your say on new community hospitals - survey now open

The Victorian Government has committed $675 million to build ten community hospitals close to major growth areas within Craigieburn, Cranbourne, Eltham area, Fishermans Bend, Pakenham, Phillip Island, Point Cook, Sunbury, Torquay and City of Whittlesea. These community hospitals will improve the way healthcare is delivered in suburban and regional Victoria, providing more access to in-demand services, closer to home.

Community hospitals are an expansion of our current public hospital network. They will provide a broad range of walk-in hospital, community health and social care services in the one place, making it easier for families, patients, carers and clients to receive the services they need.

These hospitals are a new type of public health facility and we want to understand what services are important and needed for these new facilities.
