Our Strategic Service Plan 2017 to 2025 provides the roadmap for how St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne will align our services with emerging patient needs, the political climate and the strategic direction of St Vincent’s Health Australia

In 1889, five Sisters of Charity arrived in Melbourne with the dream of establishing a hospital. The dream was realised on 6 November 1893, with the opening of a small 'cottage hospital' in converted terraces on Victoria Parade.

St Vincent’s serves a diverse community. Geographically, our primary catchment takes in the municipalities of Yarra, Boroondara, Darebin and Moreland, yet only 43 per cent of patients live in these municipalities.

St Vincent’s is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and providing an environmentally sustainable campus for current and future staff, patients and visitors.

St Vincent’s is committed to consumer and community participation. We seek input from patients, residents, clients, carers and the community in the planning, delivery and evaluation of our health service.

Our campuses include St Vincent Hospital Melbourne, Fitzroy, Caritas Christi Campus, Kew and St Georges Health Service, Kew. We also operate aged care facilities in four locations.

All SVHA facilities operate under By-laws approved by the St Vincent’s Health Australia Board. The By-laws apply to all Accredited Practitioners and are an integral part of the clinical governance system at SVHA.

St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne proudly works alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.
