Beleura Private Hospital is a private hospital in Mornington, close to the Nepean Highway. It provides surgery, inpatient care and rehabilitation, and it is a common choice for Peninsula residents with private health insurance who prefer to be treated close to home.
Many trips to Beleura are linked to planned procedures such as orthopaedic or general surgery, followed by a stay or rehabilitation. Patients often arrive on crutches or with a frame, and it can be weeks before they are cleared to drive. Family members also travel in to visit, often from Mount Eliza, Mount Martha, Dromana and the Frankston area. For those patients, a vehicle that is easy to get in and out of, and a driver who is not in a hurry, makes the trip home much more comfortable.
Taxi Peninsula can handle the whole cycle. Book a sedan for your admission day, a wheelchair accessible van for the trip home if you are not yet steady on your feet, and regular trips for rehabilitation or follow-up appointments afterwards. The drivers help you in and out of the vehicle and carry your bag to the door. NDIS and aged-care accounts and MPTP cards are accepted.

Questions about taxis to Beleura Private Hospital
I’ve had a knee or hip replacement. Which vehicle should I book home?
If you can manage a car seat, a sedan works, and the front seat can be moved back for extra leg room. If bending is difficult or you will be using a wheelchair for a while, book a wheelchair accessible van so you can be rolled up the rear ramp and stay seated, secured with four-point restraints.
Can you take me to rehab sessions after I’ve gone home?
Yes. If you are attending outpatient or day rehabilitation, book each trip online or ask us to arrange regular bookings. Let us know about any walking aid you use, and the driver will help you to the entrance and, where needed, back to your front door afterwards.
