Where do we drop you off at Rosebud Hospital?
- Drop-off point
- Our driver pulls into the hospital’s set-down area closest to your entrance. For the emergency department, say so when booking so we head straight to the right door.
- Accessible entrance
- The hospital’s main entrance is step-free. If your appointment is in a separate clinic building, tell us its name and we will drop you as near to it as we can.
- Parking & waiting
- Parking on site is limited and fills quickly in summer when the coastal population swells. Being dropped at the door saves a companion hunting for a space along Point Nepean Road.
- Accessibility
- Ground-level entry and level paths make the site manageable for walkers and wheelchairs. Our drivers will help you from the vehicle to reception if needed.
- Address
- 1527 Point Nepean Road, Rosebud VIC 3939
Tips from our drivers for Rosebud Hospital
- Summer holiday traffic along Point Nepean Road is heavy, so allow a little extra time when booking in December and January.
- If you are a holiday visitor staying in Rye, Blairgowrie or Sorrento, give us the exact accommodation address so we can find you.
- Ask for a wheelchair accessible van if you are bringing a folding wheelchair and want it to travel with you safely restrained.
- For day procedures, book your trip home at the same time as the trip in.
Going home from Rosebud Hospital
- Pick-up point
- Patients going home usually meet their taxi at the main entrance. Let us know the ward or clinic and we will confirm the spot when we are close.
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.

Rosebud Hospital is a public hospital run by Peninsula Health and the main hospital for the southern Mornington Peninsula. It has an emergency department and provides care for residents of towns such as Rosebud, Rye, Dromana, McCrae, Capel Sound, Tootgarook, Blairgowrie and Sorrento, along with the many holiday visitors who stay on this stretch of coast.
For people living at the southern end of the Peninsula, Rosebud is often the first stop for urgent care, outpatient appointments and procedures, with more specialised treatment sometimes arranged at Frankston. Public transport along the coast can be slow and infrequent, and many older residents no longer drive, so a reliable taxi makes a real difference.
Taxi Peninsula runs sedans and wheelchair accessible vehicles across the southern Peninsula day and night. We can take you to an early appointment, wait for a call when you are ready to come home, or move you between Rosebud and Frankston if your care continues there. Drivers help door to door, and we accept MPTP cards as well as NDIS and aged-care accounts. If you are a visitor staying on the southern Peninsula for the holidays and need care unexpectedly, we can collect you from your accommodation too.

Questions about taxis to Rosebud Hospital
Can you take me from Rosebud Hospital to Frankston Hospital?
Yes. If you are attending an appointment at Frankston after seeing someone at Rosebud, or a family member has been moved between the two hospitals, we can take you directly. For patient transfers that need medical supervision the hospital arranges patient transport; we take patients and visitors who can travel seated or in their own wheelchair.
Do you service holiday visitors staying near Rosebud?
Yes. We pick up from holiday houses, caravan parks and accommodation along the southern Peninsula. Give us the full street address, plus a site or unit number if you are staying in a park, so the driver can find you quickly. This matters most at night, when house numbers can be hard to spot.
Where will you drop me off at Rosebud Hospital?
Our driver pulls into the hospital’s set-down area closest to your entrance. For the emergency department, say so when booking so we head straight to the right door.
Can you wait or pick me up after my appointment at Rosebud Hospital?
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 Rosebud Hospital?
The hospital’s main entrance is step-free. If your appointment is in a separate clinic building, tell us its name and we will drop you as near to it as we can.
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.
