About us 

 

As a tertiary public healthcare service, St Vincent’s provides acute medical and surgical services, emergency and critical care, aged care, diagnostics, rehabilitation, allied health, mental health, palliative care and residential care, as well as undertaking research and educating the next generation of healthcare professionals. We have more than 5,000 staff, an operating budget of $491 million and 848 beds.

 

St Vincent’s strives to never lose sight of what makes our service unique. We understand that each patient is an individual with their own hopes and fears. We acknowledge the whole person, not just their illness. The essence of St Vincent’s lies in our approach to the smaller, day-to-day interactions with our community; these are the defining moments that transform care from good to exceptional.

 


Living our mission

For 117 years, St Vincent’s has been providing the highest standards of care driven by our concern for others, especially those in need. Our mission and the values of compassion, justice, human dignity, excellence and unity permeate every aspect of our work.

We excel across a broad spectrum from neurosurgery and surgical oncology to aged psychiatry and Aboriginal health.


Excellence in healthcare

In 2009–10 St Vincent’s had 53,212 separations and 257,444 bed days. We provided more than 500,000 occasions of service to patients through our emergency department, specialist clinics and other services.

We operate across 17 locations in metropolitan Melbourne including St George's Health Service and Caritas Christi Hospice in Kew and our main campus in Fitzroy.
