About St John of God Health Care

St John of God Health Care is a leading provider of high-quality health and community services across Australia and New Zealand. We were established more than 30 years ago by the Sisters of St John of God, who first arrived in Western Australia and commenced caring for the community in 1895. We are one of Australia’s largest Catholic health care providers, employing more than 17,000 people.

As a not for profit group, we return all surpluses to the communities we serve by updating and expanding our facilities and technology, developing new services, investing in people and providing our social outreach services to those experiencing disadvantage.
