For hospital and specialist care, Garden City is close to The Alfred in Prahran and St Vincent’s Hospital in Fitzroy. This makes it easier for us to coordinate appointments, transport and post-hospital support. For groceries and everyday essentials, the Bay Street shops in Port Melbourne and South Melbourne Market are both within easy reach, and our support workers can assist with shopping and errands whenever you need.
Garden City also has green spaces that are ideal for gentle outdoor time.

If getting around is a concern, local bus routes and the route 109 tram in nearby Port Melbourne connect you to the wider community, and we can help you plan trips so you stay independent and connected to the places you love.
