CGMC's History

For more than 80 years, Caulfield General Medical Centre (CGMC) and its predecessors on the site in Kooyong Road have been caring for people in the community by providing expert healthcare and treatment across a broad range of services.

CGMC has a long tradition of community service dating back to 1916 when the hospital was first established as an Army Hospital, providing vital healthcare services to returned servicemen and women from the First World War. Through the years, CGMC has continued to maintain this strong link with the veteran community.

Today, CGMC provides a range of speciality services to the Bayside Health community in the areas of Community Services, Rehabilitation, Aged Care, Residential Care and Aged Psychiatry. These services are provided in hospital, in the community and at home.The hospital has a statewide role in the provision of rehabilitation services.

CGMC offers a diverse array of treatment programs tailored to meet patients' specific needs, while promoting independent living through accessible and flexible services. Programs are delivered to patients in a range of settings to suit individual requirements.

CGMC is a formal training centre for Monash University medical students and has strong links with LaTrobe University and the University of Melbourne. The Centre also facilitates specialised postgraduate training in Aged Care, Rehabilitation and Aged Psychiatry.

CGMC's aim is to provide high quality, compassionate care to all patients to enhance their quality of life, assist them to remain at home when possible rather than being admitted to hospital for treatment and assist with integration in the community.
