Epworth Richmond

Epworth Richmond is the largest private hospital in Victoria and the flagship campus of Epworth HealthCare, a not-for-profit health system founded in 1920 by the Methodist Church. Located in the inner-Melbourne suburb of Richmond, the hospital operates across a main campus and adjacent specialist buildings, delivering tertiary acute care, day surgery, and a broad range of outpatient services. Epworth Richmond is accredited by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) and holds a reputation as one of Australia's most respected private teaching and research hospitals, affiliated with the University of Melbourne and Monash University. The hospital is Victoria's highest-volume private orthopaedic surgical centre, performing a large number of joint replacement procedures annually, including robotic-assisted hip and knee surgeries. Its Epworth Cancer Centre provides medical oncology, radiation oncology, haematology, and clinical trial access. The neurosciences programme covers neurosurgery, neurology, and spinal surgery, supported by dedicated neuroradiology and intraoperative monitoring. Cardiac services include interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, and cardiac surgery. International patients are accommodated through private billing arrangements, with liaison support available for insurance pre-authorisation. Costs are AUD-denominated and broadly comparable with other major Melbourne private hospitals. As a not-for-profit organisation, Epworth reinvests surpluses into clinical services, research, and capital infrastructure rather than shareholder returns.
