Peninsula Health is the major public health provider for Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, delivering world-class care from birth through to end-of-life. They offer an extensive range of specialist services—including emergency, intensive care, obstetrics and gynaecology, oncology, mental health, rehabilitation, and aged care—all supported across 13 locations, including major hospitals and community health sites. Underpinning their work are values of compassion, transparency, innovation, and collaboration, all directed toward their mission: “Healthy lives for everyone, through sustainable, innovative, compassionate care.”
Within this network, The Mornington Centre stands out as a purpose-built facility dedicated to geriatric evaluation and management. With 90 beds, it specialises in caring for older adults facing complex health challenges, such as chronic illness, memory impairments, or age-related disabilities. Upon admission, patients benefit from comprehensive assessments and individualised therapy programs delivered by a multidisciplinary clinical team—typically over a three- to four-week stay—focused on promoting independence, functional improvement, and future care planning. Serving as a key component of Peninsula Health’s patient-centred approach, The Mornington Centre plays a crucial role in supporting the wellbeing of the region’s senior community.
