At Austin Health, we are committed to fostering a healthier future for our patients, staff, community and the planet. As part of this effort, we are pleased to launch our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Strategy 2025-27.

ESG is a framework that helps us operate responsibly by focusing on environmental sustainability, social impact, and ethical governance practices. The ESG Strategy builds on our legacy of care and innovation, aligning with our Strategic Plan 2023–2027 and our commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2040.

Through our inaugural ESG, we aim to continue delivering exceptional care while respecting the environment, supporting our community, and building a sustainable future for generations to come.
