Maffra Hospital outpatients relocated.

Due to the building works underway to redevelop the Maffra Hospital and McDonald wing residential home, outpatient services, including physiotherapy and dietetics, have relocated to the Methodist Church building at 11 Pearson Street, Maffra.

The church building has been refreshed to house the physio gym and treatment rooms for the next two years until the completion of a new Wellness hub on the hospital site.

Maternal and Child Health continues to operate at the hospital but will also relocate to the church building in April this year.

Look for the Central Gippsland Health sign at the front of the church building on the north-west corner of Pearson and Church Streets, Maffra.

The contact number for physiotherapy and exercise physiology remains the same - (03) 5147 0101. The Dietetic Department can be contacted on (03) 5143 8584.

Please note that podiatry services remain at the main Maffra Hospital site.
