Dandenong Hospital is a public hospital run by Monash Health, serving Dandenong and the surrounding south-eastern suburbs. It has an emergency department, general medical and surgical wards, mental health services and outpatient clinics.
Peninsula and Frankston residents may be sent to Dandenong for a particular clinic, or have family admitted there. Others are referred for specialist services or need to visit someone in hospital away from their usual area. Without a car, the trip involves several connections on public transport. Some trips involve visiting a family member during a mental health admission, where a calm, private ride without crowds or connections can be a real relief. Others involve collecting a relative after discharge and getting them home to the Peninsula safely, along with their bags and any medication they have been sent home with.
Taxi Peninsula takes the guesswork out of the journey. Our sedans and wheelchair accessible vans run 24 hours, drivers help door to door, and carers travel with the passenger. Book online in about two minutes, see the fare estimate before you confirm, and use MPTP cards, NDIS or aged-care accounts.
