Business Summary
Promoting life by providing aged, health and community services, inspired by the Catholic tradition.
Promoting life
The Christian tradition recognises the basic goodness of all people, and the need to appreciate the richness of life, including its spiritual dimensions. In essence, life's unique journey makes us who we are. At Catholic Healthcare, we seek to nurture each individual, promoting life to its full.
Pastoral care
Pastoral care is an integral part of our services. While we recognise that we are all called to be pastoral, Catholic Healthcare also recruits professionals in pastoral care, trains pastoral care volunteers and provides education for our staff within a context of pastoral care.
Our Values
Our values are what drive us to assist you in finding your own sense of personal fulfilment, independence and belonging. The values of our organisation are reflected in our staff, our programs of care, our attitude, and in everything we do.
About Us
The Haven is a charitable not-for-profit organisation, which was established in 1947. The establishment of The Haven can be attributed to the vision of Mr E.V Roberts who was the owner of the local radio station, 2WG.
Mr Roberts purchased 18.5 acres of land in Bourke Street, Wagga Wagga and in 1951 handed the land to the 2WG Women's Club whose members commenced fundraising for the development of The Haven's Self-Care Retirement Village.
The Women's Club played a vital role in the development of The Haven.
Community Aged Care
Two community care programs are provided for people living in their own homes. Both are subsidised by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing and both provide individually planned and coordinated packages of aged care services, designed to meet older people's daily care needs in the community.
