The Ramsay Way

The foundation of Ramsay Health Care by Australian businessman and philanthropist Paul Ramsay AO is a source of pride and inspiration.

It has been more than fifty years since Paul opened Ramsay's first private psychiatric clinic and still we are driven by his belief that 'if you look after the people, success will follow'. To this day, our decision-making is underpinned by the enduring principle of putting people first.

This year, we wanted to define the modern essence of Ramsay's culture by better understanding how the company's purpose is perceived and portrayed. A business-wide review heard from senior leaders, employees, doctors and partners about how The Ramsay Way challenges and motivates them to find new and better ways of working.

By listening to our people, we sought to refine the advantages of being a global organisation focused on quality outcomes, with a truly purposeful origin and strong relationships. The result is a distillation of our values - we call them The Ramsay Way.

Our Values

People are at the heart of our success. As 'people caring for people' there are three key ways we approach our work every day:

1. We value strong relationships

Healthy working relationships lead to positive outcomes for all. We look out for the people we work with and we respect and recognise them. Strong healthy relationships are the foundation of our stakeholder loyalty.

2. We aim to constantly improve

We do things the right way. We enjoy our work and take pride in our achievements. We are not afraid to challenge the status quo to find better ways.

3. We seek to grow sustainably

Maintaining sustainable levels of profitability are only part of our success. We prioritise long-term success over short-term financial gains because we care about our people, our community and our planet.
