Alfred Health

What Alfred Health does

Alfred Health is a metropolitan public health service operating under the legal entity Bayside Health Victoria, a government-owned entity governed by the Victorian Department of Health. The organization delivers comprehensive acute, specialty, and community healthcare through three hospital campuses in Melbourne: The Alfred (a major trauma and tertiary referral hospital), Caulfield Hospital (rehabilitation and aged care), and Sandringham Hospital (community acute care). It serves over 1 million Victorians and operates 18 statewide specialized services including the Victorian Adult Burns Service, Victorian Melanoma Service, and Victoria's Adult Heart Transplant Centre (designated since 1988, with 1000 transplants completed).

Core clinical capabilities span emergency and trauma care, cardiology (including heart failure management, ventricular assist devices, electrophysiology, and transplantation), oncology (medical, radiation, and surgical including CAR-T therapy), mental health and addiction services across all age groups, infectious diseases, respiratory medicine, and rehabilitation. The organization operates over 700 active clinical trials across 20 disciplines through its TrialHub program, making it one of Australia's largest clinical trial providers, and is a core participant in the multi-institutional Alfred Research Alliance with Monash University, La Trobe University, and Baker Heart & Diabetes Institute. Notable clinical firsts include Australia's first Mobile ECPR service and a bioengineered skin program for burns treatment.

The business model is government-funded public healthcare: services are bulk billed through Medicare for eligible patients with no out-of-pocket cost in most cases, supplemented by philanthropic donations through The Alfred Foundation. Revenue is sourced from Victorian State Government and Australian Federal Government healthcare funding programs. Digital service channels include telehealth, a patient portal, and an eReferral system via Consultmed. The organization has no private shareholders or external equity investors, and operates as a public sector entity within the Victorian health system.
