The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital (the Eye and Ear) is a world leading facility, being Australia’s only  specialist stand-alone eye, ear, nose and throat (ENT) hospital. Internationally recognised as a leader in eye and ear care the Eye and Ear is the largest public provider of ophthalmology and ENT services in Victoria, and delivers approximately half of Victoria’s public eye surgery and all of Victoria’s public cochlear implants. The Eye and Ear has over 80 different specialist clinics for diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of vision and hearing loss and provides a 24 hour emergency eye and ENT service.

The hospital operates from a central hub at East Melbourne to ensure ease of access to Eye and Ear specialists. Services are also provided in community settings, such as ENT outpatient appointments at Taralye in Blackburn (an early intervention centre for deaf children and their families), eye day surgery at Northern and Eastern Health, and an audiology/ENT clinic for Aboriginal children at the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service in Fitzroy. Telehealth facilities have been established with a number of  regional and rural health services across Victoria.

The hospital is a teaching and research centre and has key partnerships with the Centre for Eye Research Australia (CERA), the University of Melbourne, the Bionics Institute, Bionic Vision Australia and HEARing CRC. The hospital provides medical, nursing and allied health training, with all Victorian ophthalmologists trained through the hospital. In collaboration with Universities and research partners, the Eye and Ear undertakes world-leading research.

A major redevelopment is currently underway to create a modern internal structure. The redevelopment will be completed in 2019 and provides an excellent opportunity to continue to build the hospital’s capacity to provide safe, effective and efficient patient centred care into the future.
