Your health
Alfred Health is a caring and compassionate organisation where the safety and wellbeing of our people is a vital component in enabling us to deliver high quality patient safety and care.
Fitness facilities
Fantastic onsite fitness facilities are available for our people at The Alfred through ProSport Health and Fitness.

Healthy choices
Alfred Health is committed to providing the best possible food and drinks choices for all people who access our sites.
Our onsite retail food outlets aim to increase access to the most healthy choices and reduce access to the less healthy choices. A range of trials have taken place to learn more about food environments and how they can promote public nutrition.
Vending machines onsite also adopt healthy choices guidelines.
Catering for meetings and events is sourced from a panel of agreed and healthy choices providers:
- Alfred Café
- Café Alfretti
- Coffeefields Café
- In-house service – Caulfield Hospital and Sandringham Hospital
- Mission Caters, Prahran Mission
- STREAT Catering
- Asylum Seeker Resource Centre Catering
