About Mitcham Private Hospital

Mitcham Private Hospital is a fully accredited Tier 1, 99 bed acute medical, surgical, maternity and mental health facility, providing for the healthcare needs of Melbourne’s outer eastern communities.

The Hospital is owned and operated by Ramsay Health Care Ltd, a publically listed Australian company whose name is synonymous with quality in private health care.

Our highly skilled team of nursing and medical staff take pride in delivering a distinctive private hospital experience and a quality of care that is recognised by the community. Throughout our patients’ stay, from pre-admission to discharge, each patient is treated with the utmost respect and dignity.

Our four modern operating theatres are equipped with the latest technical equipment, supporting minor and complex surgery. For acutely ill patients or following major surgery, the three bed High Dependency Unit provides constant care and supervision to patients requiring specialist attention.

The hospital also accommodates admissions from doctors or Emergency Departments in our local area. Our medical staff provides medical cover 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a General Surgeon and Physician roster in place to facilitate direct admission and care of acute medical patients.
