The Frankston Hospital redevelopment will transform the existing hospital with a new multi-level tower providing expanded service capability and modern inpatient emergency and surgical services, including:

• more maternity, paediatric, oncology and general inpatient wards
• expanded emergency department
• new operating theatres
• consolidation of medical and surgical wards
• additional mental health services with outdoor secure areas.

Improved patient safety and experience
Best practice indicates that co-locating clinical services allows clinicians to practice enhanced models of care that not only improve patient safety but also improve the overall hospital experience for patients, families and medical professionals.

Improved patient performance outcomes
Physical environments with modern amenities help to support the delivery of enhanced care, improving patient wellbeing and performance outcomes.

Improved local access to healthcare
An increase in service capacity will improve access for more people living locally, reduce wait times and enable patients to access more support services closer to home.

This project is being delivered by the Victorian Health and Human Services Building Authority in partnership with Peninsula Health.
