What patients say about our care
Feedback and experiences
"Happy with my care … Nurses very helpful and caring. Kitchen staff and Meals are great."
Acute Service, November 2025
"The past 5 weeks has been so beneficial for my overall learning of my nursing practice and the nurse I hope to be. The nurses at South Gippsland Hospital have been nothing short of amazing. They have radiated positive and supportive energy towards me and the other students, allowing myself to practice my skills without judgement and providing constructive feedback ... This placement was such a beautiful blessing for my last one and an incredible beginning for next year."

"DRS (Day Respite Service) is absolutely brilliant. The staff and people are lovely, they are just out of this world. Going there, despite what I initially had thought, is actually the best thing that has happened to me in recent times. I am feeling really happy and it's because I started going to that respite place."

“After undertaking placements at many hospitals throughout my EEN I have never felt more included, accepted and educated. Not once have I felt like a student but as a part of the team, being offered every opportunity along with fabulous support. Thank you for such a lovely placement. Your hospital has an amazing culture and morale that I will be sad to lose.”
