In one of CEO Magazine's latest executive interviews, Catholic Healthcare Managing Director, David Maher, shares his inspirations and commitment to providing Australia’s elderly the love and support they deserve.
In the article David says the fundamental tenet of Catholic Healthcare is that everyone is welcome, no matter what their beliefs, with staff being no exception. He believes the crucial key to Catholic Healthcare’s holistic care is the commitment of its 4,000 employees, supported by 1,000 volunteers.
“It’s very much a people business. We are striving to ensure people in our care live with dignity and find personal fulfilment in their lives as they age,” he reflects. “It’s also a social endeavour. We’re honouring the contribution our elderly have made to society, by caring for them. That’s what keeps me here.
“That’s what we’re about: building the aged care of tomorrow one day at a time,” he explains. “Our promise is to enrich lives so every client can experience the best life possible during their life’s journey, whether they are 65 and completely active, or in the later stages of palliative care. We’re reviewing and changing things quite a lot so we can support the care desires and decisions of each individual.”
