From the General Manager

The heart of St Vincent’s Brisbane has always been our people – our patients, their families, our staff and our community – and our devotion to connecting, interacting, reaching out and making a difference.

What also sets us apart, and differentiates us in the eyes of everyone that we care for, is the range of services that we offer.  Mindful that healing is a lifelong journey, our approach integrates today’s technology and life–improving procedures with a commitment to healthcare for the whole person: mind, body and spirit.

Building on its tradition of caring for those in need, St Vincent’s Brisbane has recently extended its leadership role with the opening of three new contemporary wards, a fully equipped gymnasium and occupational therapy unit.  The hospital is medically focused, meeting the needs of many within our community in a purpose built, state of art hospital that caters for the following medical specialties:

  • Rehabilitation
  • Palliative Care – including homecare, family support and day programs
  • Medicine – General Medicine, Neurosciences & Acute Geriatric Medicine
  • Pain Management
  • Transitional Care

Each of these specialty areas of medicine, have synergies which enhance our dedication to improving patient treatments, comfort and care.  Our facilities and services now cater for a wide range of disease, chronic illness or injury related problems for everyone from the young adult through to the elderly.  We are also well supported with a comprehensive medical imaging service, pharmacy service pathology services and EEG services.

St Vincent’s Brisbane’s commitment to clinical excellence is demonstrated by full accreditation with the Australian Council of Healthcare Standards.  We are alert to the benefits of innovation, achieved through the pursuit of learning and research and are fully committed to being recognised as Australia’s premier hospital for the chronically ill or injured. 

Our people are second to none.  They are pioneers and trusted friends, epitomising our dedication to caring for our patients and their families in a calm, safe environment of comfort and reassurance.  Our values of compassion, dignity, justice and unity prevail, as the solid foundation of our healing ministry of the Sisters of Charity.  We are proud of what we do at St Vincent’s Brisbane; proud of our achievements and in particular to be able to provide that special care for those in our community that continue to live with illness or disability.  That is our privilege.
