East Melbourne Opens new CSSD

St Vincent's Private Hospital, East Melbourne

A $3.1 million upgrade is officially unveiled. 

East Melbourne were thrilled to recently open their new Central Sterilising Services Department (CSSD). 

An integral part of the hospital - responsible for the stringent sterilisation of medical devices, equipment and consumables required for surgery - this $3.1 million upgrade was started in early 2023.

Equipped with the latest sterilisers and processing equipment allowing for increased productivity and numerous benefits to both staff and patients alike, the upgrade also further enhances the high quality, excellent care already provided at East Melbourne, while also ensuring they can keep up with the growing needs of the community.


Officially opened with a blessing by Catholic Chaplain Fr. Phillip and ribbon-cutting ceremony, each member of our CSSD was also presented with a small gift to mark the occasion. 


A big thank you and well done to everyone involved on bringing this wonderful project to life.

Better and fairer care. Always.

In a rapidly transforming world, St Vincent's has created a refreshed vision and strategy to help shape Australia's health and aged care future.
