Exciting times as the second theatre unit arrived on Sunday and was craned into place!

The works continue as the two units are finalised with their assembly and then connection. We are on track for our breakthrough of March 24th - which connects the two theatre units to St Vincent's main theatre complex. Once complete, they will undergo commissioning for safe operational use.

It's a major achievement for not only St Vincent's, but Tasmania also through having two of these theatre units in one location for surgical procedures.

Calvary staff were fortunate to receive training recently from Kaylene at Laerdal on our brand‑new Resus Anne simulator — an important investment in strengthening our clinical skills and ensuring we continue to deliver the highest standard of care.

Our training covered key areas including:

• Understanding the system components
• Simulator system and features
• Laerdal EcoSystem & Resources

Hands‑on learning like this is essential to keeping our team confident, prepared, and at the forefront of best practice. We’re excited to put our new knowledge into action, and look forward to future training sessions with Laerdal .

Our frontline managers take part in these sessions regularly, helping them build the skills and resilience needed to navigate the everyday challenges of leadership.

Watch the time-lapse of the installation of our new modular operating theatre at Calvary St Vincent’s Hospital! 🏬

This precision manoeuvre was the result of exceptional planning, coordination and expertise, captured from start to finish.

A big thank you to our construction partners Eriliyan and Q-bital Healthcare Solutions (APAC) for leading the charge and delivering this complex installation with such skill.

Another exciting step forward for Calvary St Vincent’s Hospital as we continue to expand surgical capability and support high-quality patient care. You can tune in to the full 3-minute time-lapse on our new website: https://ow.ly/p8iG50XLWMy

A huge milestone for Calvary St Vincent’s Hospital! Captured here is the exciting moment our new modular operating theatre was craned into position at St Vincent's Hospital yesterday. 🛠️👷

Constructed off-site by Q-bital Healthcare Solutions (APAC), each theatre is delivered as a single folded-up unit which expands on site to unveil a fully equipped surgical space and its associated supporting areas. This approach allows us to increase surgical capacity more quickly and with far less disruption to patients, staff, and our surrounding community.

Once connected to our existing theatre suite, the new theatre will operate to the same clinical standards as a traditional build. Commissioning is expected by mid-February 2026.

We thank our neighbours for their support and patience during Sunday's road closures as this important project progresses. Here's to growth, innovation, and continuing best-practice, compassionate care as we head into the new year.
