About us

We are an experienced hospital operator with 14 private hospitals in Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.  Most of our hospitals are acute and we are particularly well-known for our maternity, oncology and orthopaedic services.  

In addition to our general acute hospitals, we have three specialist mental health hospitals, St John of God Richmond and Burwood Hospitals in New South Wales and St John of God Pinelodge Clinic in Victoria, and a specialist rehabilitation hospital, St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital in south east Melbourne.  

We operate two public hospitals under public private partnerships (PPPs), St John of God Midland Public Hospital in Western Australia and Hawkesbury District Health Service in New South Wales. 

In total, we have 3,356 beds.  In 2020-21 we treated more than 381,000 overnight and same day patients. We deliver more than 10,000 babies every year and are the biggest provider of private maternity services in our home state of Western Australia.

We also provide home nursing, including acute, post-acute and community services to privately and publicly funded clients, through St John of God Healthcare at Home.  In 2020-21, we delivered more than 78,000 episodes of care.

We operate a range of public and community health care contracts in all three states.

St John of God Health Care allocates a percentage of eligible revenue to community and youth services programs, administered by St John of God Social Outreach.
