Over the next 40 days leading to Easter, Lent offers a time for reflection, renewal and spiritual growth through prayer, fasting and acts of compassion. It is an invitation to pause, turn inward and prepare our hearts for the hope of Easter 🙏

At the end of last year, we farewelled Paul and Gill from St John of God Warrnambool Hospital.

Together, Paul and Gill dedicated more than 63 years of service to our hospital, which is an incredible achievement and a testament to their commitment and care.

They will both be greatly missed by caregivers across the hospital. We are sincerely grateful for the support, professionalism and kindness they have shared with so many over the years.

We wish Paul and Gill all the very best in their retirement and in everything that lies ahead. Enjoy this well-earned next chapter.

This week we proudly joined the nation in celebrating 50 years of NAIDOC Week, reflecting on the legacy of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and looking ahead to a future led by strength, culture, and unity.

The 2025 theme, “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy,” honours the resilience of Elders and the leadership of today’s young First Nations voices. Across SJOG Warrnambool, our caregivers took time to recognise this important milestone through vibrant NAIDOC Week displays, storytelling, and reflection.

A special thank you to our teams who wore their “50 Years of NAIDOC” shirts with pride, helping to create a welcoming and respectful space for cultural learning and connection.

Together, we continue to walk the path of reconciliation. Acknowledging the past, celebrating the present, and supporting the next generation.

Introducing Our New Strategy: Every Moment Matters

Today, we celebrate the launch of the new St John of God Health Care Strategy, set to guide our mission from 1 July 2025. At St John of God Warrnambool Hospital, this strategy reinforces our dedication to compassionate, committed, and connected care—because every moment matters.

The Strategy outlines five key priorities: Sustainability, Care Journey, People First, Integrated Care, and Community Impact. These focus areas will drive how we continue to deliver exceptional, patient-focused care to the Warrnambool community, building upon recent advancements such as the introduction of robotics into our theatres.

As we continue to serve the people of south-western Victoria and South Australia, we look forward to a future shaped by innovation, compassion, and community connection.
