Admitted to Monash Hospital in Melbourne’s southeast late 2025, Andrews suffered speech and movement issues that left him significantly debilitated.
He’s now in an intensive rehabilitation program with reports of steady progress, though details stay closely guarded like those of Formula 1’s Michael Schumacher.
The news draws sympathy from supporters recalling his COVID leadership, while skeptics link it to his upcoming defamation case hearing on February 11—views that remain unproven.
It highlights how Andrews, who ran Victoria from 2014 to 2023 and now leads a consultancy, still polarises the public.
