About

Personal Care...Professional Approach

Story

As part of UnitingCare Health, St Stephen’s Hospital is a non-for-profit private hospital owned by the Uniting Church and has been serving the Fraser Coast community since 1946. St Stephen's is the only not-for-profit private acute hospital facility in the Fraser Coast area.

As a registered charity and not-for-profit facility, we are committed to re-investing surplus funds for the development of the hospital, our services and employees. This benefits the community by creating a hospital utilising leading edge technology staffed by leaders in their field. Our Motto, “Personal Care, Professional Approach”, employs compassion, care, honesty and integrity throughout every aspect of our care.

UnitingCare Health also includes The Wesley Hospital and St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital in Brisbane, as well as The Sunshine Coast Private Hospital in Buderim, and is therefore a significant provider of healthcare services in Queensland. Collectively over 3,000 people are currently employed by UnitingCare Health, with approximately 100,000 patients treated annually.

The hospital is fully accredited by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards and is committed to providing excellence in heathcare through continuous improvement, innovative leadership and efficient and effective management of resources.
