- We drop off at the set-down area nearest your entrance. With a site this size, the building or clinic name on your letter helps the driver choose the right spot.

Tips from our drivers for Monash Medical Centre Clayton
- Write the clinic or building name from your appointment letter into the booking notes.

Going home from Monash Medical Centre Clayton
- Pick-up point

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.

Monash Medical Centre in Clayton is one of Melbourne’s major public teaching hospitals and the largest campus of Monash Health. It provides a wide range of specialist services, from complex surgery and cancer care to renal services and maternity, and treats patients referred from across the south-east.
Peninsula and Frankston residents are often referred to Clayton for care that is not available closer to home, or for specialist reviews linked to ongoing treatment. That can mean a long trip up the freeways for a short appointment, sometimes several times a month. Patients who need regular treatment such as dialysis, and those who have just had surgery, are rarely in a position to drive.
Taxi Peninsula takes you from your door on the Peninsula straight to the hospital entrance and back again. Book a sedan for a simple trip, or a wheelchair accessible van or Maxi WAT if you travel in your chair. For appointments with an unknown finish time, “pick up when ready” lets you call us when you are done. Fixed quotes are available on request, and MPTP, NDIS and aged-care accounts are accepted.

Yes. If you attend dialysis on set days, we can take you each time. Book each session online or call us to set up regular bookings, and let us know if you use a wheelchair. For the trip home, “pick up when ready” helps when sessions finish a little earlier or later than planned.
