St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital

First class treatment. World class results. St Andrew’s provides the best possible care and leadership in all spheres of activity of the hospital.

St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital is one of Australia's leading hospitals providing first class treatments and achieving world class results. We have earned a reputation as a first class hospital particularly for complex clinical procedures with one of the highest patient complexities in Australia. St Andrew’s is a world leader in patient outcomes for many of our specialties. We achieve this by attracting the best staff and medical practitioners and carefully auditing and improving on the outcomes of our treatments. The hospital is ranked as one of Australia's top-performing hospitals by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS). In 2010 St Andrew's completed a major $76 million redevelopment launching the hospital into a new and exciting era. As a result the hospital now comprises state-of-the-art buildings, facilities and equipment including new theatres, intensive care ward, rehabilitation facilities and wards. A few facts about the hospital in 2010-2011:
• 23,385 patients admitted - 9,741 day patients and 13,644 in-patients
• 18,309 procedures performed - 12,708 theatre procedures, 2,480 endoscopic procedures and 3,121 catheter laboratory procedures
• 11,415 patients seen in the Emergency Centre and 3,021 admissions
• 1,338,022 minutes operating
• 705 tonnes of laundry
• 233,669 meals served
• 1.3 million staff hours worked. Through the work of our staff and doctors and in collaboration with St Andrew’s Medical Institute we have, and will continue to evaluate, benchmark and improve what we do to enhance the quality of our patient’s lives. St Andrew’s demonstrates results that are statistically among the best in the world and consistently measure and exceed US, European and Australian benchmarks for patient outcomes. It is in this way we fulfill our own motivation to work in healthcare and our role as a Uniting Church organisation.

Our St Andrew's Emergency Centre is powered by compassionate people like Georgie.

As an Assistant in Nursing (AIN), Georgie helps ensure the Emergency Centre is stocked and tidy, assists nurses, helps with patient transfers, and transports patients to imaging.

For Georgie, the most rewarding part of her role is caring for patients and working alongside a supportive, positive team. She feels truly valued at work — and that sense of care extends to every patient who comes through our doors.

"Patients should know that all our Emergency Centre staff are kind, caring and thorough," she says. "They will receive excellent care with us and can trust that their concerns or queries will be heard and taken seriously."

Outside of work, Georgie loves spending time with family, friends and her beautiful puppy Wilson 🐾. She enjoys getting outdoors — especially adventures that involve swimming and waterfalls. After completing her Diploma of Nursing last year, Georgie is about to begin her Bachelor of Nursing - an exciting next step in her journey. 🙌

💙 Thank you, Georgie, for the care and positivity you bring to our Emergency Centre every day.

Yesterday, we celebrated Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, a long-standing Christian tradition marking the last day before the start of Lent. 🥞

Since ancient times, Shrove Tuesday has become known as a day for Christians to use up all of the eggs, milk and sugar in the house before the traditional Lenten fast begins on Ash Wednesday (today) and ends more than 40 days later on Easter Sunday.

Thank you to our hospitality and executive teams - as well as our special guest, UnitingCare CEO Ben Edwards - who served up the most delicious batch of pancakes for the enjoyment of our patients, visitors and staff.

St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital is proudly part of UnitingCare.

Today marks 18 years since the National Apology was made to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly removed and displaced from their families, communities and culture. These children are known as the Stolen Generations.

The National Apology was a historic acknowledgement by the Australian Government of the trauma and grief caused by past government laws, policies and practices of assimilation.

UnitingCare's reconciliation journey is underpinned by the acknowledgement and apology by the Uniting Church in its contribution to these past wrongs - evident in the Church's 1994 Covenant with the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress and 1996 formal Apology to the Stolen Generations, as well as an ongoing commitment to advocate and seek justice, healing and reconciliation.

St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital is proudly part of UnitingCare.
