Kooweerup Regional Health Service

What Kooweerup Regional Health Service does

Kooweerup Regional Health Service operates Kooweerup Hospital, a public regional health service integrated into Bayside Health Victoria, a Victorian Government state health entity formed from the merger of Alfred Health and Peninsula Health. The hospital operates from its main site at 215-235 Rossiter Road, Koo Wee Rup VIC 3981, providing 24/7 inpatient and emergency care to communities across the southern sections of Cardinia and Casey shires and neighbouring rural towns across Bass Coast and South Gippsland.

The service portfolio is organised around an integrated care model that combines inpatient services, outpatient clinics, and community-based programs. Service lines include Aged Care (Killara Hostel, Westernport Nursing Home, palliative care, respite, transition care), Community and Allied Health (diabetes education, dietetics, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, social work), District Nursing (footcare, hospital in the home, post-acute care, wound management), Medical and Surgical, Women's Health and Family Services, Emergency and Urgent Care, and Local Health and Wellbeing programs. Distribution is via the physical hospital site, home-based district nursing across the catchment, and telehealth consultations.

The business model is public-sector rather than commercial: services are primarily funded through Medicare and the Victorian public healthcare system as a division of Bayside Health Victoria, with no private pricing disclosed. The go-to-market relies on community referrals, GP and specialist referrals within the Bayside Health network, and the consolidated parent entity's website and community newsletter channels rather than direct consumer marketing.
