The next era
Cabrini has been providing quality, compassionate hospital care for more than 70 years to the south-east Melbourne community. Unlike other hospitals who are branches of larger providers, Cabrini Malvern has always been proud of its strong links to the community it serves, and the delivery of the care that this entails.
Currently we are challenged on two fronts:
- the ageing infrastructure at Cabrini Malvern
- the increasing clinical demand for healthcare services in our area
To meet this demand, we have made a commitment to continually invest in the infrastructure needs of our hospital and community.
The Gandel Wing was opened in 2019, but Cabrini’s other buildings were built in the 1950s and 1970s when multi-bed rooms were standard practice and the number of patients we were treating was far less. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has forever changed the healthcare landscape, fast-tracking our need to redevelop Cabrini.
We need to:
- convert our multi-bed wards into single bed rooms
- build new theatres to meet the future clinical demands of the community
- to develop the Cabrini Cancer Institute to further prioritise cancer research for our community
Rezoning approval - April 2024
Cabrini is pleased to provide an update on the planning process for our long-term redevelopment plans.
Cabrini applied to the State Government late last year, to re-zone some of its property to undertake a redevelopment that meets the current and future needs of our local community. Approval for these planning amendments has now been received, with some minor modifications to our original plans. We will continue to work closely with Stonnington Council and consult with the local community as we progress through the planning process.
