Mooroopna is a ground-level unstaffed station, featuring one side platform. The station opened on 13 January 1880, with the current station provided in August 2022.[2][3]

As part of the Regional Rail Revival project to upgrade the Shepparton line, the platform was extended to accommodate VLocity trains.[6][7] The project was completed by August 2022, and included new lighting, seating, shelter and CCTV, as well an upgraded car park and upgraded paths leading to the station.[1]
Demolished station Toolamba was located between Mooroopna and Murchison East.
