“MHIF is allowing our health services to make important infrastructure improvements, expanding capacity, improving patient care, and enhancing working environments for staff.” 

The MHIF has previously allocated A$1.4m to Monash Health’s Medical Centre to expand the Maternity Clinic.  

This investment has enabled better prenatal care access for expectant mothers in the region.  

The MHIF also supports metropolitan health services in construction, remodelling, and refurbishment projects, including equipment and technology upgrades, facilitating the adoption of new technologies and contemporary care models. 

So far, the Australian Government has funded a total of 72 projects through the MHIF, amounting to an A$265m investment in essential health infrastructure upgrades.  

Clarinda, Victoria State Member Meng Heang Tak said: “The new renal dialysis facility at Monash Health will help meet the growing demand for this critical health service in the south-east, with the bonus of ensuring patients can receive the highest standard of care closer to home.”
