Getting Ready for Hospital

Getting Ready for Hospital

Your wellness and safety are our priority

St Vincent’s Hospitals Australia has a rich tradition of providing progressive and excellent health care. We combine the latest technology with exceptional and compassionate medical, nursing, allied health and pastoral care.

While in our care, your health is our priority. We’re dedicated to providing you and your family with the highest standard of healthcare and a healing environment that’s second to none. 

Our core philosophy, known as person-centred care, means we involve you in planning and delivering your care, so we can meet your individual needs and preferences. We respect your choices, values, beliefs and culture at all times.


Making your stay safe and positive

To help make your hospital stay a safe and positive experience, we encourage you to get involved in your care as much as you would like. We hope you will:

  • Ask questions about your treatment and medications
  • Speak up if you’re in pain or something doesn’t feel quite right
  • Tell us if you have any special requests
  • Give us feedback about how well we’re doing and what we could be doing better

Thank you for trusting us with your care.
