About Us

Committed to the Church's mission in health and aged care

Catholic Healthcare is a not-for-profit provider of aged, community and healthcare services in New South Wales and south-east Queensland. Founded in 1994, Catholic Healthcare was established to renew, continue and expand the Catholic Church's ministries in healthcare.

Over a decade later and assisted by more than 3,000 employees, Catholic Healthcare provides care and support services through residential aged care communities, seniors living accommodation, hospitals and community services.

We are deeply committed to carrying out the healing mission of Jesus. Catholic Healthcare builds collaborative and sustainable partnerships with religious, government and community groups so that we can provide care and support services to those in need.
