Your story is part of our history
70 Years.
Thousands of Stories.
One Community.
For 70 years, Burnside Hospital has been part of the lives of generations of South Australians.
It has been a place of healing and hope, of life-changing moments, new beginnings, challenges overcome, and extraordinary care. Behind every milestone in our history are the people who have walked through our doors, whether as patients, family members, doctors, volunteers, staff, supporters or visitors.
As we celebrate our 70th Anniversary, we are inviting our community to help us tell the story of Burnside Hospital through the experiences that matter most.
We'd love to hear from you
Perhaps Burnside Hospital played a role in welcoming a new member of your family. Perhaps a nurse, doctor or staff member made a difficult time a little easier. Perhaps you worked here, trained here, volunteered here, or supported a loved one during their healthcare journey.
Your connection to Burnside Hospital is part of our story.
Whether your memory is from last week or 50 years ago, we would be honoured to hear it.
Throughout our anniversary year, we will be sharing stories that reflect the impact Burnside Hospital has had on individuals, families and the broader South Australian community.
Selected stories may be featured across our anniversary celebrations, including our website, social media channels, publications and at our 70th Anniversary Gala.
Together, these stories will help preserve the rich history of Burnside Hospital and celebrate the people who have shaped our journey over the past seven decades.
