St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital is a 60-bed hospital providing specialist inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation care. [1]
Located in Frankston, Victoria, the facility is a specialist rehabilitation hospital, providing neurological, orthopedic, cardiac and reconditioning programs.
The hospital was built in 1976 and opened the following year as Peninsula Private Hospital. It then relocated to a new site in 1999 and shortly after became the Nepean Rehabilitation Hospital. [2] The facility was acquired by St John of God Health Care in March 2004 and renamed St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital in 2012. [3]
The hospital made global news in 2009 for its work with Russell McPhee, a man who had been paralysed for 20 years. After undertaking a course of botulinum toxin injections – or botox – McPhee was reportedly able to walk again. [4]
St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital is a division of St John of God Health Care. [5]
The hospital has 60 beds, hydrotherapy pool, cardiac, physiotherapy and occupational therapy gyms, a chapel and a pet visiting room. [6]

Rehabilitation services offered by the hospital include:
In 2010, the hospital partnered with Open Family Australia to introduce a new drug and alcohol educational program for homeless youths in Frankston. [8]
In conjunction with other local businesses, St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital funds a full-time youth worker to help combat youth homelessness, crime and alcohol and drug-related abuse among troubled youth in the region. [9]
