• home-like kitchen common areas for activities and leisure. 

The St George’s Hospital aged care facility aims to provide the following benefits:

Access to services 

The new aged care facility includes two three-storey aged care residences, with access to support services including medical, rehabilitation and allied health care services currently provided by St George’s Health Services. 

Person-centred care 

Public aged care services play a vital role in supporting our most vulnerable older Victorians who need specialist care for complex physical or mental health needs. Part of the largest ever revamp of Victoria’s public aged homes, this new facility is designed to deliver the very best high-quality person-centered care to all residents.

Safe living and working conditions 

The new facility will benefit both staff and residents with better and safer living and working conditions. This will improve care and quality of life for Victorian families. 

This project was delivered by the Victorian Health and Human Services Building Authority in partnership with:

• St Vincent’s Health Melbourne
• Lyons (architects) 
• Cockram Constructions (builder).
