It serves the south-eastern suburb of Bentleigh, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

There was also a signal box located at the eastern side (down line) that has since been removed.

On 28 June 1987, a third track was provided between Caulfield and Moorabbin, and platform 3 was constructed on the eastern side.

This project was funded by government department Arts Victoria (now Creative Victoria) and VicTrack, and was developed in collaboration with an estimate of 750 school students and youth services from Australia and abroad, inspired by Irving's mosaic works.

[15] Stationary Faces was proposed by Irving in order to combat constant vandalism in the station's underpass, with the assistance of Rob Hudson, the Victorian parliament member for Bentleigh at the time.
