Alfred Health

Alfred Health's Caulfield location is a provider of specialist medical services with a focus on rehabilitation, aged care, and aged mental health. The hospital delivers care that is centred on improving the health, independence, and overall wellbeing of its patients. It plays a significant role across the state of Victoria in providing specialised rehabilitation services. These services cater to individuals with acquired brain injuries, neurological conditions, and those requiring spinal rehabilitation and amputee care.

Care at the Caulfield facility is offered in a variety of settings to meet the needs of the individual, including inpatient services at the hospital, in the community, and within a patient's home. This flexible approach allows for treatment programmes tailored to specific requirements, promoting independent living. The hospital does not have an emergency department. It is an integral part of Alfred Health, a major provider of health services in the inner southeast suburbs of Melbourne and for specialist care throughout Victoria.

With a history of community service that began in 1916, the hospital was first established as an Army Hospital to care for returned service personnel from the First World War. This early work in caring for soldiers, including establishing an amputee unit, formed the foundation of its long-standing expertise in rehabilitation. Today, it continues to build on this legacy by providing high-quality, compassionate care designed to enhance a patient's quality of life and assist with their integration into the community.
