Mission
Our mission is to bring the healing ministry of Christ to all we serve. Our concern for others, especially those in need, permeates every aspect of the life and work of our services.
We are dedicated to providing the best possible healthcare, drawing on the talents and creativity of our people and others who share our vision.
We express our mission through our daily work in hospitals, ambulatory services and multidisciplinary clinics, research institutes, aged care services, hospices, outreach activities and in the home.
Our values
The values of the Sisters of Charity are the foundation of our mission. We are guided by these values in our relationships with the people we serve and our partners. In all our activities we strive to demonstrate:
- Compassion: accepting people as they are, bringing to each the love and tenderness of Christ
- Justice: acting with integrity and respecting the rights of all
- Human dignity: respecting the uniqueness of each person created in the image and likeness of God
- Excellence: excelling in all aspects of our healing ministry
- Unity: creating a community characterised by harmony and collaboration.
