Supporting our community

In addition to our Social Outreach and Advocacy services, St John of God Hospital Murdoch takes opportunities to support the community in which we operate. 

Western Australian Citizen of the Year Awards

Our sponsorship of the Professions Award, a part of the Western Australian Citizen of the Year Awards, is an appropriate fit for the hospital.  The dedication and commitment of the annual award winner is similarly reflected in the care and service provided to the local community by our dedicated health professionals.

The Professions award recognises the exceptional achievements of an individual engaged in excellence in a vocation requiring advanced knowledge and learning.

Inaugurated in 1972, the Western Australian Citizen of the Year Awards acknowledge the many remarkable individuals and organisations that motivate and inspire others through their vision, leadership and contribution, their exceptional talents, skills and achievements.

Charity of the Year

Every year our caregivers and volunteers raise money for our Charity of the Year. Last year we raised more than $23,000 for St Patrick’s Community Support Centre.

This year, St John of God Hospital Murdoch has chosen St Patrick’s Community Support Centre as our Charity of the Year for 2011/12.

The Passages Resource Centre to be opened in the Peel region will provide the marginalised and homeless young people (12 – 25 years) with a “passage” to help the transition from one life to another.
The funds raised this year by the Charity of the Year program will go towards the Passages Resource Centre and Food on Wheels project both to be located in the Peel region.
