Sandringham Hospital

Overview

Sandringham Hospital is a community healthcare facility serving the bayside suburbs of southeastern Melbourne. With approximately 100 beds, the hospital provides a range of services including emergency care, elective surgery, maternity, and specialist clinics. Operating as part of Alfred Health, the facility offers 24-hour emergency care, elective surgery, maternity services including a family birth centre, and specialist outpatient clinics. Located in the bayside suburb of Sandringham approximately 16 kilometers southeast of Melbourne’s CBD, the hospital serves a catchment population of around 250,000 people across the bayside and surrounding areas. Sandringham Hospital plays an important role as a community provider, managing common medical and surgical conditions while transferring more complex cases to tertiary hospitals such as The Alfred. The hospital has developed specialised expertise in maternity services and elective surgery, particularly in areas such as orthopedics, general surgery, and gynecology. The facility’s integration with Alfred Health ensures strong clinical governance and access to specialist expertise, while maintaining its community-focused approach that provides accessible care closer to home for bayside residents.
