Tips from our drivers for Cabrini Malvern
- Specialist suites can be in separate buildings, so check your letter for the exact location.
- For surgery, book the trip home with “pick up when ready” as discharge times vary.
- Peak-hour traffic on the way into Malvern can be slow, so leave buffer time for morning admissions.
Going home from Cabrini Malvern
- Pick-up point
- Most patients wait for the taxi just inside the main entrance. Tell us your ward when you book and we will confirm the spot.
Discharge tips
- Book a “pick up when ready” trip ahead: choose the day, then tap “I’m ready” on your booking page (or call us) when the ward lets you go.
- Discharge often takes longer than planned — waiting for medicines, a doctor’s sign-off or transport letters is normal. We only send the car when you are ready.
- Have your discharge letter, medicines and any walking aids with you, and tell us if you need help from the ward to the car.
- Travelling with a wheelchair or a carer? Say so when you book so we send the right vehicle.

Cabrini Malvern is a not-for-profit Catholic private hospital in Melbourne’s inner south-east, run by Cabrini Health. It offers a broad range of surgical, medical and maternity services, and many specialists consult from rooms on or near the site.
Peninsula patients often choose Cabrini because their surgeon or specialist works there, which can mean a long trip for a pre-admission visit, the surgery itself and follow-up appointments. Most are not allowed to drive after a procedure, and family may not be able to take a full day off to drive them up and back. Expectant parents booked in for maternity care at Cabrini also make several trips before and after the birth, and many prefer not to drive in the final weeks of pregnancy or home again with a newborn.
Taxi Peninsula can take you from your home on the Peninsula to the hospital door, and bring you home again when you are discharged. Book a sedan, or a wheelchair accessible van or Maxi WAT if you use a chair. Ask for a fixed quote for the longer trip, and use “pick up when ready” so you leave the moment the nurses are happy for you to go.

Questions about taxis to Cabrini Malvern
Is a taxi from the Peninsula to Cabrini Malvern a sensible option?
For many patients, yes. It saves a family member a long drive and a parking search, and you travel door to door straight after discharge. We show a fare estimate before you book and offer fixed quotes on request, so you know what to expect for the trip up and back.
Can you pick me up from my specialist’s rooms rather than the hospital?
Yes. Enter the specific address of the consulting rooms as your pick-up point, or add the building name in the booking notes. Our driver will meet you at that entrance. If you are not sure when your appointment will finish, choose “pick up when ready” and let us know when you are done.
Where will you drop me off at Cabrini Malvern?
We set down at the main entrance or the closest drop-off to your consulting suite. The suite or building name on your appointment letter helps.
Can you wait or pick me up after my appointment at Cabrini Malvern?
Yes. Book a return trip with an approximate time, then call or text us when you are ready. Appointments often run late, so we keep return pick-ups flexible.
Is there step-free access at Cabrini Malvern?
Cabrini Malvern has a main entrance with reception and several other entry points to wings and consulting suites. Tell us where you are going and we will aim for the nearest step-free entrance.
Can I travel in my power wheelchair or scooter?
Yes. Most manual and power wheelchairs fit, and you stay seated in your chair. Tell us the make, width and weight when you book so we send the right vehicle. Mobility scooters can travel when they can be safely restrained — please check with us first.
Can a carer or family member come too?
Yes. Carers, family and assistance animals are welcome. Include everyone in the passenger count so we send a vehicle with enough seats.
How do I pay?
Pay the driver by card or cash, use your Multi Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) card, or choose "Account / invoice" for NDIS plan managers, aged-care providers and businesses.
