We provide a range of acute, sub-acute, ancillary medical, aged and allied health services, largely from our three sites: Wonthaggi Hospital, San Remo, and Phillip Island Community Hospital.
We are fully accredited by the Australian Council on Health Care Standards (ACHS) (https://www.achs.org.au) and are equipped to offer a broad range of specialist medical, surgical and obstetric services including orthopaedics, ophthalmology, gynaecology, urology and rehabilitation.
Residential aged care services are provided at our Kirrak House residential care facility at Wonthaggi Hospital and Griffiths Point Lodge facility at San Remo, overlooking Cape Woolamai. All residential aged care services are accredited through the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency (AACQA).
We offer a wide range of community and welfare services that are provided at Wonthaggi, San Remo, Inverloch, Grantville, Corinella and Cowes. Our Community Services provide a wide range of allied health and clinical nurse consulting services that include assessment and treatment for clients. These services are delivered in a variety of settings including inpatients, outpatients, residential aged care facilities and in clients’ homes, and embraces the Active Service Model as their underlying philosophy. All community services are accredited through ACHS or AACQA.
We are committed to working collaboratively and in partnership with other health services, local government and state government, and are an active member of the South Coast Health Services Consortium and the Gippsland Health Alliance.
