St Vincent'S Private Hospital Sydney

At least the imaging department were great, especially Dr Fung.
I agree the food is horrible, that is why I lived on their sandwiches which were quite good! I have had good & bad experiences in the ER.

The food was terrible, especially for patients who have to eat softdental menu and come without the souces at all . How you manage to recovery ? Better ask your Dr to go home asap.

Amazing staff very professional and caring went above and beyond. Food was great for hospital too. Had surgery by Dr Jonkers and him and all the staff in their were amazing. Could not recommend a better hospital in Sydney. Thank you everyone for looking after me.

I had a kidney stone on a work trip from the states, this is where I got everything take care of. Their nursing staff was amazing.

I was recently required to stay at St Vincent's Private Hospital, after surgery, for 4 days. I would like to thank all the nursing and medical staff for their kindness, attention and care during my stay. A beautiful, clean, friendly environment in which to heal. Thank you.

9 months ago, my review would be totally the opposite. This whole system has improved. Nurses have been absolutely fantastic. The physical venue or room I'm in this time is 100% better. They now have working air-conditioning!. My neurosurgeon, Dr. Parkinson is everything a do tor should be. Compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, intelligent.

Amazing caring, friendly staff and amazing surgeons (Feb 2016). Recovery time was better than expected.

It's Refugee Week, and we are collecting food & toiletries!
St Vincent’s Private has been supporting Refugees in our partnership with the Asylum Seekers Centre for over 15 years.
As you may be aware visa conditions recently changed and the basic allowance has ceased, meaning for those seeking asylum it will now be extremely difficult to pay rent, buy food and medicine and support their children through school.
... Any donations of long-life food or toiletries would be gratefully received. If you can help, please drop off your items to St Vincent's Clinic Reception, 438 Victoria Street Darlinghurst.
Thank you!

We'd like to join our St Vincent's colleagues in expressing our gratitude for Sr Ses's contribution to our campus, and wish her all the very best for her retirement.

It’s been our privilege at St Vincent’s Private to enjoy a longstanding partnership with Sydney’s Asylum Seekers Centre (ASC) for almost 15 years.
Refugees and asylum seekers are some of the most vulnerable members of our community, and we are driven by our mission to do what we can to help the poor and vulnerable among us.
Over the years, our support has taken the form of providing access to prescriptions and pharmacy advice; pro-bono consultations with medical specialists;... free imaging and pathology; access to a primary health education program covering subjects such as kidney health, diabetes and women’s health; helping the Centre procure medical equipment; participation in a free lunch program; food drives; education support for the Centre’s nurses; and providing free manchester and kitchenware to help fit out asylum seeker accommodation.
Recently we were advised our friends at the ASC that the Federal Government was placing up to 100 vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers – many of whom are in Australia to receive medical care – on to a ‘final departure Bridging Visa E’ or ‘BVE’ where they will lose any financial assistance or accommodation support while living in the community.
We believe this is a unnecessarily harsh and unfair policy development that will cause great hardship for people, some of whom are in poor physical and mental health.
As a sign of our support for the ASC’s efforts – and our opposition to this decision – the CEO of St Vincent’s Health Australia, Toby Hall, has written a letter to Peter Dutton, the Minister responsible, asking him to change his mind.
It seems to us that this policy goes against all notions of fairness and aims to punish people who are already doing it extremely tough – it should not stand.

St Vincent’s Health Australia does not support moves to introduce a trial of drug-testing for new income support recipients.
These measures: • Lack evidence – there is no evidence drug testing of income support recipients either helps to create jobs or assist people into treatment; the measures have also been developed without clinical input.
... • Aren’t cost effective – the government has refused to announce how much the trial will cost.
• Punishes rather than helps – they will further stigmatise people with addictions, a known barrier to treatment uptake; and
• Risks increased financial hardship – for a vulnerable group who already face multiple and entrenched disadvantage.
If the government is serious about developing evidence-based policies to help people with substance abuse disorders find a job then we stand ready to help – but this policy is not the way to go.
Please take the time to read the article by SVHA's Group CEO Toby Hall.
