Looking for medical & hospital trips from Rosebud? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Rosebud in a wheelchair accessible taxi with a ramp or hoist, four-point wheelchair restraints and a driver trained to help you in and out safely.
Point Nepean Road is the main street and gets heavily congested in the summer holidays, especially near the foreshore camping areas and the plaza. Boneo Road and Jetty Road lead up to the Mornington Peninsula Freeway, which is the faster way towards Frankston. There is no train line on the southern Peninsula. Rosebud Hospital sits right on Point Nepean Road, and patient pick-ups work best at the main entrance; let us know your department. Plaza car parks are busy on weekends. Off-season, traffic is much lighter, and most of our trips are local errands and medical appointments.

Cos’altro chiedono le persone?
How does “pick up when ready” work?
Book your trip home in advance and choose the pick up when ready option instead of a fixed time. When the hospital clears you to leave, tap “I’m ready” on your booking or phone us, and we send a vehicle then. It suits hospital discharge, day surgery and appointments that tend to run late.
Can you drop me at a particular department?
Yes. Tell us the department, clinic or ward when you book and the driver will head for the most suitable drop-off point at that hospital or medical centre. If the entrance is a short walk from where vehicles can stop, the driver will help you get there.
Can someone else book a medical trip for me?
Absolutely. Family members, carers, support coordinators and clinic staff often book for patients. Give us the passenger’s name, pick-up address and any mobility needs, and choose whether the confirmation goes to the passenger or the person booking. The driver will ask for the passenger by name on arrival.
Do you go to hospitals in Melbourne as well as on the Peninsula?
Yes. Alongside Frankston Hospital and Rosebud Hospital, we regularly take passengers to Monash Medical Centre in Clayton and specialist hospitals in the city. We travel anywhere in Melbourne, so you can book a return trip for treatment, follow-up appointments or visiting a relative in hospital.
I need a regular trip for dialysis. Can I set that up?
Yes. Many passengers have standing bookings for dialysis, chemotherapy or rehabilitation on the same days each week. Let us know the schedule, the treatment centre and whether you need a wheelchair vehicle. MPTP cards are accepted, and approved NDIS and aged-care accounts can be billed for these regular trips.
Questions about medical & hospital trips from rosebud
How long does it take from Rosebud to Centro di Melbourne (CBD)?
About 80 minutes without traffic. We add time for loading and securing your wheelchair, and for peak-hour traffic, when we plan your pick-up.
How much does it cost for medical & hospital trips from Rosebud?
Fares depend on distance, time of day and waiting time. The booking form shows an estimate, or ask us for a fixed quote.
Can you pick me up from my home, a hospital or an aged-care home in Rosebud?
Yes. We pick up from any address — homes, hospitals, clinics, aged-care homes and day programs — and help you from the door to the vehicle.
Can you take me home from Rosebud Hospital?
Yes. Rosebud Hospital is one of our most common pick-ups. Choose the pick up when ready option when booking and tap I'm ready or call when you are discharged. The driver will meet you at the entrance and can help with bags and walking aids, and a wheelchair accessible vehicle can be sent if you need one.
Do you service the Rosebud foreshore during the summer holidays?
We do, though summer traffic along Point Nepean Road is heavy, so book ahead for anything time-sensitive. Give us your camping ground and a clear meeting point, such as the entrance off the main road. Late-night trips home from dinner or the pub are popular, so a pre-booked return trip is a good idea.
How do I get from Rosebud to Frankston Hospital for a specialist appointment?
We take Rosebud residents to Frankston Hospital regularly, usually via the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and Peninsula Link. Book a pick-up time that leaves room for traffic and finding your clinic. For the return, a set time or the pick up when ready option both work, depending on how predictable your appointment is.
