It is a non-government, not-for-profit, charitable institution providing a range of inpatient and ambulatory care services including: Women's and related health services including maternity, women’s health and breast clinics, breast and gynaecological surgery and IVF.

In October 2006 the Hospital was purchased by a Group consisting of the Epworth Hospital and ING Real Estate.

The Freemason Hospital still operates as a hospital.

Cosequently it is now known as Epworth Freemasons Hospital.
