The Caroline Chisholm Centre for Health Ethics began operation in March 1995. It began as a response to Catholic Hospitals' demand for greater understanding and advice on ethical issues in health care.

The Centre was publicly launched on July 20, 1995 with a discussion on euthanasia. The Centre began its quest for ethical understanding and looks to Caroline Chisholm for inspiration and determination in its work.

The Centre publishes a Bulletin quarterly, which is an important outreach for the Centre. The journals articles are short, solid, well researched, readable and directed to informed persons seeking moral truth in health ethics in the Catholic Christian tradition.
