Governance
Our structure
St John of God Health Care Inc is a wholly
owned and controlled entity of St John of God Australia Ltd, a
civil and canon law entity established in 2004 to sponsor the
ministry that until then was run solely by the Sisters of St John of God. The
Sisters remain members of St John of God Australia Ltd and share
sponsorship of the ministry with nine of the Dioceses in which we
operate as well as the Hospitaller Order of St John of God. This
collaboration establishes a structure ensuring sound and continuing
governance and stewardship.
The seven non-executive Trustees of St John of God Health Care appoint
members of the Board with a wide variety
of backgrounds who are able to provide direction and guidance to
the Group Management Committee, which
oversees the group's performance in our five key result areas:
- Culture
- Excellence in care
- Excellence in governance and management of resources
- Formation, education and leadership
- Social justice
In New Zealand we operate through the St John of God Hauora Trust, which is
accountable, via its own Governing Board and Chief Executive
Officer, for the day to day governance and management of the New
Zealand services.
