Best care, right here in the NSW Northern Rivers
Over 100 years providing compassionate care in the region
St Vincent’s Hospital stands proudly on Widjabul and Wiyabal Country, with a history rooted in care and community.
In 1920, the Sisters of Charity answered a request from the Most Reverend John Joseph Carroll, Bishop of Lismore, to establish a Catholic hospital. By December 1921, their vision became reality as the first patients were admitted to a two-story weatherboard residence on Dalley Street.

Exciting update for St Vincent’s Lismore
In August last year, we were thrilled to announce significant developments at St Vincent’s as we embarked on a new journey to enhance our services and expand our reach in the community.
Outstanding Accreditation Results
We are proud to report St Vincent’s received a perfect score across all safety and quality standards in its recent ACHS health standards review. Three assessors over three days, and the hospital demonstrated compliance across eight National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards with zero unmet requirements, and no recommendations.

Good News! In December last year a deal was voted up by St Vincent’s nursing staff to approve a proposed Enterprise Bargaining Agreement which was hailed by the nurse’s union as a solid offer, and acknowledged by nurses as a good deal.
