Working at St Vincent’s Lismore
“I’ve worked at other hospitals, and the staff culture at St Vincent’s is easily the most positive” – Jenni Prosser

All staff recognise our Core Values, and sign on to support the ‘Above the Line’ behaviours we embody, ensuring this positive ethos is passed on to our patients and community.
