🌿 Today is World Environment Day – a moment to reflect on how we care for our planet, and the role health care can play in creating a more sustainable future.

At Ramsay, we know that looking after people means looking after the environment they live in.

Through Ramsay Cares, our sustainability strategy, we’re making practical, long-term changes – from reducing emissions and cutting waste to building more energy-efficient hospitals.

Every action counts, and it’s the everyday choices made by our people that are helping shape a healthier future for both patients and the planet. 💚🌏

Thank you to our volunteers!

This National Volunteer Week (19–25 May), we celebrate the incredible contributions of our volunteers under the theme “Connecting Communities.”

Our volunteers bring warmth, support and a sense of connection to our hospitals — whether welcoming people at the front desk, assisting patients and families, or working behind the scenes. Their generosity and dedication make a real difference every day.

Please take a moment this week to thank the volunteers in your area. A kind word goes a long way in recognising the heart they bring to our community.

We're extremely proud to unveil a beautiful new totem at the entrance to our hospital, created to honour the rich heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Crafted by Aunty Marie and Aunty Odette from KKAC Koori Kulcha Aboriginal Corporation, the totem draws inspiration from the saltwater people, the ocean, whales, islands and coastline — reflecting the diverse communities of the Illawarra. Footprints along the base symbolise walking on Country and our ongoing work together across the region.

Our staff added their own handprints to the base of the totem, creating a collective gesture of respect and commitment to cultural inclusion.

This totem now stands as a welcoming symbol of respect, recognition and reconciliation at Figtree Private Hospital.

💙 This International Nurses Day, we honour the heart of healthcare — our incredible nurses.

For more than 60 years, Ramsay’s nurses and midwives have shaped our story. They’ve been there through life’s most defining moments — welcoming new life, supporting recovery, and offering comfort at the end of life.

While the settings and tools may have changed, the compassion, strength and presence at the core of this work remain the same.

To all the wonderful nurses at Ramsay sites around the country - on behalf of our patients, their families, and everyone at Ramsay — thank you for all that you do. 💙

❤️ This Heart Week, we’re joining the call to put heart health at the top of your to-do list.

Cardiovascular disease remains one of Australia’s biggest health challenges, yet many of its risk factors — like high blood pressure, inactivity and poor diet — are within our power to change.

That’s why this week is all about awareness and action.

At Ramsay, we see the impact of heart disease every day. But we also see the incredible difference that early detection, lifestyle changes and expert care can make.

Your heart matters. Let’s look after it, together.

🦺 World Day for Safety and Health at Work 🦺

The World Day for Safety and Health at Work is a moment to reflect on the vital role we all play in creating safe, healthy workplaces.

At Ramsay, safety is everyone’s responsibility—from preventing injuries and reducing risks, to supporting mental wellbeing and fostering a culture where people feel safe to speak up. Together, we work to prevent work-related illnesses, injuries, and incidents—because caring for people starts with caring for each other.

Thank you to every team member across our hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and offices for continuing to put safety first—for our people, our patients, and our communities.

Honouring courage and sacrifice.

On 25 April, we pause to honour ANZAC Day—a national day of remembrance that marks the anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli in 1915 and pays tribute to all Australians and New Zealanders who have served—and continue to serve—in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping.

ANZAC Day is a powerful reminder of the courage, resilience, and sacrifice of those who came before us. It’s also a time to reflect on the values they upheld—mateship, endurance, and compassion—which continue to shape our communities today.

At Ramsay, we’re proud to care for veterans, service members, and their families every day. Today, we thank them—and remember them.

Lest we forget.

National Administrative Professionals Day.

Today is National Administrative Professionals Day, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the incredible administrative professionals across Ramsay.

Your organisation, adaptability, and leadership are the backbone of our hospitals, clinics, offices and support teams. Whether coordinating schedules, managing systems, supporting patients or helping teams stay on track—you make it all work.

On behalf of the entire Ramsay community: thank you. Your work may often happen behind the scenes, but it never goes unnoticed. We’re grateful for everything you do.

🎉 Ramsay hits 100 million plastics milestone!

Just in time for 🌏 Ramsay has officially met our goal of eliminating 100 million single-use plastic items.

What started as a small pilot in 2020 has grown into one of our biggest sustainability wins - thanks to the commitment of our people across our entire organisation. From medicine cups to meal containers, we’ve swapped out plastic for more sustainable alternatives wherever we can. ♻️

💚 While we’ve now reached our target, our efforts to reduce and replace single-use plastics continue.

Wishing you a safe, peaceful, and happy Easter.

About Figtree Private Hospital

Figtree Private Hospital has been providing a caring, quality service to residents of the Illawarra for more than 30 years.

Operated by Australia’s leading private health care provider, Ramsay Health Care, Figtree Private Hospital has a long history as Illawarra’s premier surgical and maternity hospital.

In 2016, Figtree Private Hospital was transformed into a rehabilitation centre following the opening Ramsay Health Care’s brand new Illawarra facility, Wollongong Private Hospital. Figtree Private Hospital underwent extensive renovations including construction of new gymnasiums and occupational therapy rooms to deliver a range of inpatient rehabilitation, allied health therapies and sleep studies.

In February 2018, Figtree Private Hospital opened the highly anticipated Illawarra Early Parenting Centre providing day program and residential postnatal support to families with children aged 2 months - 2 years of age.
