Royal Melbourne Hospital

Founded in 1848 as Victoria’s first public hospital, the Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH) has grown from a 10-bed facility into one of Australia’s leading healthcare institutions. Today, RMH provides comprehensive care across its Parkville, Royal Park, and Elizabeth Street sites, as well as mental health services throughout Melbourne’s northwestern suburbs. It is also home to the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, a joint venture with the University of Melbourne.

RMH is recognized for its commitment to excellence in patient care, research, and education. With a skilled and compassionate workforce, the hospital continues to drive medical innovation and shape the next generation of clinicians, researchers, and educators. Its purpose — advancing healthcare for everyone, every day — reflects a strong commitment to community health, guided by values of putting people first, leading with kindness, and pursuing excellence together.
