History
Cabrini Health History
In January 1948 ten members of an Italian religious congregation arrived in Melbourne to assume ownership of a small private hospital in Malvern St Benedict as it was then known was started by the Sisters of Mercy in 1920
Responding to the missionary enthusiasm of their Founder Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus undertook an arduous journey from Italy to Australia to take charge of this Mission
