Every person matters
HammondCare is passionate about improving quality of life for people in need, with a special commitment to dementia care, palliative care and innovative research.
Our Christian motivation means we strongly believe in the intrinsic value of every person, providing care for people in need regardless of background, identity or circumstances.
We see and respect the whole person, not just illness or care needs. This compels us to always put residents, clients and patients at the heart of what we do, and continuously improve the care and services we provide.
Our Mission in Action
‘We serve people with complex health or aged care needs, regardless of their circumstances.’
Our identity
Independent
We’re often asked what ‘denomination’ we’re a part of. But we’re not linked to a specific denomination or church — instead, we work with all denominations and partners of many kinds. This enables us to respond to identified needs, wherever they may be. Our independence means that rather than following others, we are positioned to lead.
Christian
We serve people of all faiths and none. Our work is motivated by the Christian values expressed in the words and deeds of Jesus Christ.
“... whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:40
These ancient words call us to show the same love, compassion and respect to anyone who needs us, without discrimination.
Charity
As a charity, we have always been motivated by values and purpose rather than profit. But that doesn’t mean we’re careless with resources. Instead, we’re responsible stewards for the public benefit. It’s our mission and privilege to understand and address needs, and we continue to take necessary risks to help those in need.
You come first
We're here for you, and we aim to empower the people we serve to live a fulfilling life until the very end. We walk side by side with residents, clients and patients, and shape care and support to their unique needs — whatever they are, wherever they are.
Towards Next Chapter
After thorough review and consultation, we developed the Next Chapter Strategy that helps fulfil our Mission as we head toward 2025. Here is a snapshot of what we plan to achieve:
- Relationship-based care for those others can’t or won’t help
- Improving evidence-based care practices
- Measuring our impact on peoples’ lives
- Shaping the sector through stories of care
