Peninsula Health joins advocacy group

PENINSULA Health has partnered with the Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula advocacy group.

Peninsula Health oversees Frankston Hospital, Rosebud Hospital, the Mornington Centre, Golf Links Road Rehabilitation Centre, and the Frankston Public Surgical Centre. Frankston Hospital is in the middle of a $1.1 billion redevelopment, funded by the state government.

Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula CEO Josh Sinclair said the group would help advocate for funding for the organisation’s other facilities. “We’ll keep advocating for significant government investment into Rosebud Hospital as well as key worker accommodation for healthcare workers in Frankston,” he said.

“We look forward to working with Peninsula Health and with both levels of government to keep improving health outcomes for our region. “The Victorian Government’s $1.1 billion redevelopment of Frankston Hospital will ensure locals have access to world-class health care on the peninsula.”

The Frankston Hospital redevelopment is set to add a new 12-storey tower with an operating theatre suite, mental health services, inpatient units, expanded women's and children's services, and much more. Main works are scheduled for completion sometime next year (“Foundations laid for hospital project” The Times 1/8/23).

The Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula has membership tiers for businesses which range from $550 up to $10,000.
