Discharge tips

Moorabbin Hospital is a Monash Health public hospital in Bentleigh East. It is known particularly for cancer services, and also provides day procedures and outpatient clinics for the south-eastern suburbs.
Many Peninsula and Frankston residents come here for a course of cancer treatment, which can mean frequent visits over several weeks. Those trips add up quickly, and tiredness from treatment makes driving yourself difficult. Partners and family are not always free every day to provide lifts. Some patients come in daily for a period, while others attend every few weeks for reviews and infusions. Either way, the travel becomes part of the routine, and a reliable driver who knows where to drop you helps make each visit a little less tiring. Partners and adult children can also save their leave for the days that matter most.
Taxi Peninsula can run each of those trips door to door. Book a sedan or, if you use a wheelchair, a wheelchair accessible van or Maxi WAT. Carers ride with you, drivers help with bags and doors, and fare estimates appear on the booking form, with fixed quotes on request. MPTP cards and NDIS or aged-care accounts are accepted.
