Winning!
On 19th September 2000, Mildura Base Hospital was taken over by a private company.
Our new hospital will enjoy a pivot away from a management driven by profit making, to one driven by patient care – 20 years after the failed privatisation experiment imposed on us by the Kennett Government.
A truly public, community and patient-centred hospital is here. To stay.
The path to privatisation and back to public management was a long and arduous one, spanning over 20 years.

MEMBER for Mildura Ali Cupper will be looking to ensure her track record in attracting Victorian Government investment will continue in next week’s state budget.
“I’ve spent the last three years in Parliament putting Mildura back on the map after decades of neglect by the major parties, now it’s about capitalising on that momentum,” she said.
MILDURA Base Public Hospital’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic has vastly improved since the Base returned to public hands.
Member for Mildura Ali Cupper said the way the hospital has been dealing with COVID-19 far surpasses the efforts that were being made when the Base was privately run.
MEMBER for Mildura Ali Cupper has requested an update from Victoria’s Health Minister, Martin Foley, on the status of the Mildura Base Public Hospital masterplan.
