This year Catholic Healthcare celebrates nineteen years of<br />

service, nineteen years of promoting life.<br />

the direction of the reforms is positive in<br />

responding to the increased need for<br />

services as the population ages.<br />

A key feature of Catholic Healthcare’s<br />

focus during the year was the<br />

development of an Aged Care<br />

Strategic Plan capable of responding<br />

to the government reform agenda, and<br />

the increased community need of an<br />

ageing population. The strategic plan<br />

enunciates Catholic Healthcare’s vision<br />

to further develop as an integrated<br />

provider of quality, compassionate<br />

aged care services, offering choice<br />

of care to our residents and clients<br />

to meet their needs, whether it be<br />

residential, community or retirement<br />

care – Your Care, Your Choice.<br />

The four key areas of focus within the<br />

strategic plan are:<br />

• the development of modern<br />

services that respond to community<br />

need;<br />

• care excellence;<br />

• business excellence; and<br />

• development of our people.<br />

Catholic Healthcare is well placed to<br />

respond to the government reforms<br />

and the ageing population, and the<br />

initiatives within our strategic plan will<br />

continue the growth and development<br />

of Catholic Healthcare as a leader in<br />

the aged care industry.<br />

We thank, particularly, all our staff<br />

whose tireless dedication to our<br />

mission has been so clearly displayed<br />

throughout this year. We also thank the<br />

Bishops of New South Wales and the<br />

ACT for their support and guidance,<br />

and the Diocesan Development Funds<br />

for partnering with Catholic Healthcare<br />

and helping us achieve our vision.<br />

So please join us in celebrating another<br />

successful year of service. We look<br />

forward to the opportunities and<br />

challenges the year ahead holds,<br />

knowing that together as a Catholic<br />

Healthcare team we support and help<br />

each other in our mission. Together we<br />

are stronger.<br />
