For people and communities to thrive
To bring compassion and justice to life and break cycles of significant disadvantage
To ensure our everyday work contributes to our Vision and Mission, we look towards our Mission Ethos Shapers. These guide our decisions and the future of our organisation.
We place people at the centre of everything we do. We see the person first as a unique individual, supporting their choices and needs with personalised and tailored services to achieve their goals.
MercyCare is committed to partnering with our First Nations Peoples to build a strong and fair future together. By championing unity and mutual respect between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, our organisation as a whole, and the individuals that make it, hope to progress Australia to become a more just, equitable nation.
We are committed to championing the environment across our services, taking steps as individuals and as an organisation to reduce waste and consumption. We are committed to educating ourselves and the next generation about how small steps can make a big difference to our planet’s future.
At MercyCare, every person matters. We commit to inspiring a culture that truly embraces and celebrates diversity and will continue to build relationships and deliver services that are inclusive of people from all walks of life.
