Quality Healthcare in Modern Facilities
As MDHS grows and expands its services, its campuses and facilities are continually upgraded and improved. Ongoing local & State Government investment in our services ensures that we can provide high-quality healthcare in modern, fit-for-purpose facilities.
In 2021, the Victorian Government announced a $94.8 million investment in MDHS with our new facility, expected to be completed by late 2024. It will provide new birthing suites, an urgent care centre, a 32-bed inpatient unit, two operating theatres and recovery spaces, and a day medical centre with imaging and pathology services.

COIL is equipped with all the resources required to train students in a simulated hospital environment. The Learning Space features state-of-the-art technology that allows learning to be undertaken virtually.
