Cabrini Health

Cabrini Health, also known as Cabrini Hospital, is a Catholic, not‑for‑profit health care provider headquartered in Australia. It operates a network of hospitals and health services that deliver acute medical and surgical care, maternity services, mental health programs, aged care, and rehabilitation therapies. The organisation serves patients primarily in Melbourne’s southeastern suburbs and the wider Victorian community. Its clinical offerings include emergency medicine, cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, and women’s health, reflecting a broad scope of specialist and generalist care. Cabrini Health places emphasis on holistic treatment that integrates physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing in line with its Catholic ethos. The provider also engages in clinical education and training, hosting placements for medical, nursing and allied health students from local universities. In addition to direct patient care, it supports community health initiatives and preventive wellness programs.

Cabrini Health is recognised as one of the largest private health care providers in Victoria, with multiple campuses including Cabrini Malvern, Cabrini Brighton and Cabrini Prahran that together accommodate a substantial number of inpatient beds and outpatient visits. The organisation employs a significant workforce of clinicians, administrators and support staff to sustain its service delivery across these sites. A distinguishing attribute of Cabrini Health is its longstanding affiliation with Catholic Health Australia, which guides its governance and mission‑driven approach to health care. It maintains teaching partnerships with universities such as Monash and the University of Melbourne, contributing to medical research and the training of future health professionals. The provider’s sector positioning is marked by a reputation for high‑quality cardiac and oncology services, areas in which it has developed specialised expertise. In February 2019, Cabrini Hospital experienced a ransomware attack that compromised approximately 15,000 patient records from its cardiology unit, highlighting the cybersecurity challenges faced by health care institutions. The organisation is governed by a board of directors and operates without a parent corporate entity, reinvesting any surplus back into its health services and facilities.
