Peninsula University Hospital is now open.
Frankston Hospital is officially Peninsula University Hospital.
This is a bold step towards delivering cutting-edge, research-driven healthcare – marking the beginning of a new era in healthcare, education, and research for the region. This name change is more than symbolic. It reflects a growing and dynamic partnership between Peninsula Health and Monash University, bringing significant benefits to patients, staff, students and the broader community. The new identity strengthens the hospital’s position as a hub for innovation, advanced clinical care, and evidence-based practice.
Peninsula University Hospital provides additional bed capacity, new operating theatres, enhanced mental health and oncology services, along with expanded maternity and paediatric services.
The tower also includes a new main entrance, multi-deck car park and two state-wide emergency department initiatives: a five-bed emergency department mental health, alcohol and other drugs hub, and a dedicated paediatric zone. The hospital had officially open it’s doors.
