What Cabrini does

Cabrini Health Ltd is a Catholic, not-for-profit private healthcare service headquartered in Malvern, Victoria, Australia, owned and operated by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Founded in 1948, Cabrini runs three hospitals — Cabrini Malvern (508 beds), Cabrini Brighton (138 beds) and Cabrini Women's Mental Health at the Lisa Thurin Women's Health Centre in Elsternwick (30 beds) — providing acute care, emergency, cardiac, maternity, cancer, surgical, rehabilitation, palliative and mental health services to approximately 86,000 patients each year across Melbourne's south-east. Services are delivered via direct patient access (self/GP/specialist referral), and billed principally through private health insurers and Medicare, supplemented by the Cabrini Foundation through workplace giving, major campaigns, direct mail and individual donor fundraising.

The organisation's clinical capability is anchored by the Cabrini Cancer Institute, a purpose-built translational research facility hosting more than 100 active clinical trials (including 50+ immunotherapy trials), with organoid-based drug sensitivity testing, precision cancer genomics, CAR-T solid tumour programmes in collaboration with Hudson Institute and Peter MacCallum, and a state-of-the-art exercise research laboratory — partnerships with Monash, the MPCCC, and Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute support these programmes. Adjacent operating units include the Cabrini Exercise and Wellness Centre (oncology rehabilitation), Cabrini Outreach (free primary and mental health care for asylum seekers in Brunswick, Northcote, Shepparton and Mildura), Cabrini Technology Group (vendor-neutral health-tech services across 18 sites in Australia and New Zealand, employing ~550 staff and serving 700+ organisations, including the AxisHealth medical capital equipment business), and the Cabrini Foundation (philanthropy).

Cabrini employs more than 4,300 staff, 1,200+ visiting medical officers and roughly 300 volunteers, and is governed as a charitable entity with limited direct government or church funding — relying on service revenue and philanthropy. Strategic capacity expansion is underway via the Next Era redevelopment at Cabrini Malvern (land acquired June 2026 for A$7.15M from the City of Stonnington), which targets more than 150,000 patients annually by 2036, alongside deployment of the Velys surgical robot and ongoing build-out of robotic surgery capacity funded through the Foundation.
