We promote the dignity, life and spirituality of older people through connected and inclusive communities.

The mission of Catholic Healthcare expresses the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. Our service to Australia's ageing community reflects the love and compassion defined by Jesus in the story of the Good Samaritan. We uphold the intrinsic dignity of all those we serve by focusing on holistic person-centred care that fosters living life to the full. This mission continues the tradition of providing care and support to all faiths, backgrounds and ethnicities.

The values of our organisation are reflected in the behaviour of our employees, our model of care and attitudes, with these displayed in each encounter every day.

Our symbol is a dove pictured in mid-flight and represents a number of different aspects of our organisation’s Heritage, Mission and Values.

It is a symbol of the coming of the  Holy Spirit which gives life and continues to inspire our Mission at Catholic Healthcare. 

The dove is recognised as a universal symbol of  hope  and comfort. The origins of its meaning are traced back to Scriptures, beginning with the story of Noah and the great flood (Genesis 8:10-11). The Dove returning with an olive branch was the hope of the floods receding and life beginning again. And as a symbol of the presence of God in the baptism of Jesus and the event of Pentecost.
