General Manager Welcome

Welcome to St George Hospital. The values of the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District guide behaviour and professional standards of our staff. These values underpin the goals and development of our health services.  Our CORE values are:

Collaboration
We will work together as a team to provide the best health care for our community.

Openness
The decisions we make are transparent and we accept accountability for our actions. Our patients, and their carers, have a right to know how and why decisions are made and who is making them.

Respect
We respect and acknowledge the contribution made by each member of our team in providing the best possible health care for our patients.

Empowerment
We will work with our patients and their carers to enable them to take greater control of their own health care. We acknowledge that for empowerment to work there must be trust between our patients and all staff involved in the provision of health care.

The Hospital has achieved and maintained full accreditation status in the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards, Evaluation and Quality Improvement Program (EQuIP). We also have teaching and research links to the University of New South Wales, offering supervised undergraduate placements and encouraging recruitment of motivated new graduates.

St George Hospital offers great opportunities for professional development and advancement. We foster improvement and innovation, and attract staff who share our values and believe that they can help us achieve our goals.

St George Hospital is committed to providing the highest level of care and attention and we welcome your feedback.

If you have any questions or are concerned about your treatment in hospital or in the community, I encourage you to discuss these concerns with the nurse, doctor, or other health professional involved in your care. They may be able to resolve your issues immediately or they can refer you to a more senior member of staff.

Alternatively, you can contact the Patient Experience Manager who brings staff and patients together in an effort to resolve any issues they may have regarding the provision of care they receive at St George Hospital.

We have always remained a community-centred Hospital, committed to involving consumers, carers and community members in the decision-making process. We value your contributions at all levels of the organisation and encourage you to become a Consumer Representative which gives you an empowered and coordinated voice when decisions are made for the local community.

St George Hospital is committed to preventing hospital infections. To assist us, we ask that all visitors and staff use hand hygiene gels before entering and leaving the hospital wards and after patient contact.

I look forward to welcoming you to our Hospital in the future. If we can help you prepare for your admission to Hospital or with any other query, please feel free to contact us on (02) 9113 1111.
