[edit] Health

The area has one General Practitioners office on Brooklyn Road. The early 1990's saw the Melton Private hospital close down to become a nursing home (located on Exford Road). The hospital was popular for many births in the 1970's and 1980's, however the private fees made the hospital less popular as time went by. Pregnant couples must now go to Bacchus Marsh or Sunshine hospitals to give birth.^{[citation needed]}
