This account traces the story of Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital in Melbourne, from when it took over from the wartime military hospital in 1947. Catering exclusively to the needs of ex-service personnel, the Repat rapidly developed a strong sense of community among staff and patients. Staff were often ex-service themselves, and for many years the hospital administration retained a strong military flavour. The development of the hospital as a medical institution has at times been inhibited by its unusual status. Despite notable achievements, staff have had to battle for recognition from the general medical community. Today, the Repat faces an uncertain future as a veterans' hospital, 50 years after the end of World War II.
