Werribee Our facilities
Our specialties
Opening in 2018, St Vincent’s Private Werribee was the first private overnight hospital to be built in Wyndham. Our team of experienced doctors, nurses and allied health staff work alongside the local community to provide high quality care for communities in the West.
We currently have three spacious operating theatres, with capacity to fit out three more as demand for services increase. Each theatre is identical and features the latest technology to support the growing demand for minimal invasive and open procedures.
With the most advanced surgical equipment and highly trained doctors and nurses this really is a state of the art hospital, right here in Werribee.
We cater for a broad range of surgery including, Orthopaedics, Cardiology, Spinal Neurosurgery and General Surgery, to name a few.
Our Cardiac Catheter Lab is the first and only Cath Lab in Werribee, allowing for minimally invasive Cardiac and vascular procedures to be completed locally.
Every room at St Vincent’s Private includes your personal ensuite and all rooms are single. There are no shared rooms or wards within the hospital. Our inpatient Rehabilitation service includes a purpose built gymnasium and is staffed by specialist Rehab Physicians, Allied Health clinicians and experienced rehabilitation nursing staff.
In addition to inpatient services, the community can also access a widespread range of medical specialists from the hospital’s consulting rooms.
Facilities for patients and visitors
At St Vincent’s, Slade Pharmacy supports all inpatients with their medications and relevant drug advice. This includes providing a list of medications you are taking at discharge to assist your ongoing care.
Slade Pharmacy also provides chemotherapy to the St Vincent’s oncology unit. As a hospital inpatient, St Vincent’s will share your Medicare and concession card details with Slade to facilitate the dispensing of your medication.
Where possible, current medications should be brought into hospital with you. It is important to note that some medications given during your stay may not be covered by your health fund and Slade Pharmacy may send you an account at the end of the calendar month. This can be paid via BPAY or credit card. This is separate to any accounts that you settle with the hospital reception on discharge.
The pharmacy stocks a wide range of prescription and over-the-counter medicines.
Opening hours:
Monday to Friday 8.00am to 5.00pm
Saturday 8.00am to 11.00am
Sunday and Public Holidays Closed
