Outreach

Social Outreach and Advocacy services provided by St John of God Murdoch Hospital reflect an active commitment to the community we serve. The mental, physical, social and emotional wellbeing of clients is paramount and the services are lead by the needs of the individuals and families with whofernsm we work.

Our service is guided by the five core values of St John of God Health Care, which are: Hospitality, Compassion, Respect, Justice and Excellence.

We aim to:

  • Support clients’ right to self-determination
  • Recognise and respect the unique physical  emotional, social, cultural and spiritual dimensions of each individual
  • Work in partnership with general practitioners and other human service agencies, in the best interests of the client
  • Encourage family involvement and access to information
  • Foster the ability to use psychological distress as a developmental process, so that it does not hinder or impair further development.

About us:


In 2004, St John of God Murdoch Hospital began funding a Community Mental Health Service to offer accessible and low/no cost services for vulnerable population groups. In the first year 250 clients with anxiety and depression were seen. By 2010 the service had expanded and had 363 new clients. In total 2,600 clients from across the south metropolitan area of Perth have now accessed counselling.
