Save Rosebud Hospital

Built more than 60 years ago, Rosebud Hospital has been starved of funds and is in poor condition. Without urgent investment soon, Rosebud Hospital is at risk of closing.

If Rosebud Hospital were to close, our community would have to travel up to two hours to Frankston Hospital, to access emergency care during the busy summer peak. It would put people's lives at risk. Frankston is too far. Nowhere else in metropolitan Melbourne is emergency care this far away.

The Peninsula's population is growing - 170,000 and counting. Our hospital bears the additional pressure of more than 8 million visitors to the Mornington Peninsula a year. A redeveloped hospital would provide new and expanded emergency care and imaging department close to home, new operating theatres, more hospital beds, more specialist services - including chemotherapy and dialysis.

Healthcare is an essential service and up-to-date infrastructure is crucial for our community's wellbeing. A redeveloped hospital would also allow us to attract the best healthcare professionals to the Peninsula.
