Dr Anita Clarke graduated from medicine exactly 30 years to the day after her father, Dr Bernard Clarke.
He was St Vincent’s Melbourne's first Director of Intensive Care, on call every day for years. She now leads the Urology team at the same hospital.

At St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne, our Emergency Department includes a dedicated Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drug (MHAOD) Hub - an integrated, specialist-led service providing immediate support to people in crisis.

This collaborative model brings together emergency clinicians, mental health specialists, and AOD teams to offer trauma-informed, person-centred care when it’s needed most. “We see people from all walks of life and treat everyone with respect,” says Emergency Nurse Olivia Bollington. “We listen and involve them in their care.”

The average length of stay for those attending the Hub is 40 per cent shorter than the average length of stay they would have experienced in our ED as part of the general mix of patients.

It’s part of a national St Vincent’s commitment to caring for people experiencing mental health challenges, addiction, and disadvantage - across our hospitals, outreach teams and digital services.

This Pain Week, we’re sharing the story of Navy veteran Ashley Semmens - who lived with chronic pain for over a decade after a bomb blast in Afghanistan.

With support from pain medicine specialist Dr Ramsey Jabbour at St Vincent’s Private Hospital Northside, Ashley underwent a targeted treatment called radiofrequency ablation - and for the first time in years, found meaningful relief.

Ashley then went on to achieve a world-first: crossing the English Channel swimming on his back using only his legs.

His story is a powerful reminder that evidence-based pain care can transform lives.

For the fifth consecutive year, St Vincent’s private hospitals have been ranked number one in Australia by Medibank customers in the annual Patient Reported Experience Measures Survey (PREMS). Across every one of the 10 categories - from nurse and doctor communication to pain management, cleanliness, and patient recommendation - our hospitals were voted #1.

We also received the highest Net Promoter Score (NPS), a global benchmark of patient satisfaction in healthcare.

These results reflect the dedication of our people - clinicians, nurses, allied health teams, support staff, and administrators - across all 10 of our private hospitals in New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland. Facilities including St Vincent’s Northside, Toowoomba, East Melbourne and Fitzroy consistently outperformed peer hospitals, with Northside and the Mater Sydney scoring 10 points higher than their counterparts in medicine-related communication.

To be ranked first once is an achievement. To do so five years running is extraordinary - and it speaks to the values that have guided St Vincent’s for more than 165 years. In an evolving and often challenging healthcare environment, we remain deeply committed to compassionate care, clinical excellence, and purposeful service. We’re proud to lead the way in Australian private healthcare - and even prouder to be trusted by those we serve.
