We don’t know who is more excited – our 2026 interns or our medical education team.

It’s Intern Orientation Week and we are delighted to welcome more than 40 medical interns to Bayside Health Peninsula. 🩺

Over the next 12 months, they'll gain hands-on experience in a range of specialties across multiple sites, including Rosebud Hospital, Golf Links Road Rehabilitation Centre, The Mornington Centre, Frankston Public Surgical Centre and Peninsula University Hospital when it opens in Frankston later this month.

All the best to our new group of interns for a successful and rewarding year in providing care to our local community.

What does it take to move a hospital? Peninsula University Hospital is opening in less than 3 weeks, and there’s still plenty to do. Luckily we have a great team working behind the scenes to get everything in place.

We can’t wait for the official move day on 20 January.

Bayside Health officially comes to life on January 1 2026, bringing five health services together so more than 1.2 million Victorians can access care that’s better connected and closer to home.

This means the same trusted hospital and healthcare teams, better access to groundbreaking clinical trials and research, and stronger networks to support your health.

Whether you’re in Melbourne’s south, Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, Bass Coast or south Gippsland, our goal is simple: seamless, high-quality care for every person, every time.

Under Bayside Health, each hospital and healthcare site will continue to operate under its existing name, and your current local team will remain the same.

We’re excited for what’s ahead, because when we work together, we can do even more for our community.

A mosquito bite is usually just an itchy nuisance but sometimes, it can be much more.

For 91-year-old Peninsula Health patient Karl, what appeared to be a harmless bite turned into something far more serious.

Karl is now undergoing treatment for his fourth Buruli ulcer – a rare and aggressive flesh-eating bacterial infection that can cause significant tissue damage if left untreated and is thought to be spread by mosquitoes.

Dr Peter Kelley, an Infectious Diseases Specialist at Peninsula Health, says it is important to treat any cuts or scratches you get whilst gardening.

“Cleaning any new abrasions with soap and water, treating them with antiseptic and covering them is important.”

While Karl is on the mend now, he is using his experience to urge others to wear long, loose clothing and apply mosquito repellent before heading out doors.

If you have a cut or scratch you are unsure about, or one that is worsening, please visit your GP or Urgent Care Centre for a consultation.

Cake decorator Tigga Mac – Tegan McCormack - will spend Christmas with family and friends after a huge year of chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer at Peninsula Health.

“I didn’t realise how much it was going to take a toll on me—or that with the drug I was on, I was pretty much guaranteed to lose my hair,” explains Tegan.

You can support local cancer services this Christmas and help provide comfort and joy for people undergoing cancer treatment through our Christmas Appeal.
