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.

Calvary St Vincent's Theatre Expansion Project

You may notice a large partition notice board when entering St Vincent's Hospital if you're visiting or coming in as a patient.

The information board will provide regular updates regarding the St Vincent's Theatre Expansion Project as we commence works in preparation for the two new portable theatres that will be installed to the rear of the facility.

It's an exciting time for St Vincent's; not only is this a Tasmanian first with the installation of a portable theatre - it's also an Australian first to have two on one site!

Calvary St Vincent's & St Luke's General Manager Kate Pryde this week met with media sharing news of Calvary Health Care's investment of $14M in two new modular theatres and building works for St Vincent's Hospital.

The modular theatres are a first for Tasmania (and having two a first in Australia!) as we resume our surgical capacity as quickly as possible while we consider long-term plans.

🩺 Sepsis Awareness at Calvary St Vincent’s and St Luke’s 🩺

To mark Sepsis Awareness, Calvary St Vincent’s and St Luke’s recently hosted a staff competition to help shine a light on this critical health issue. The response was fantastic—and the votes are in!

🎉 Congratulations to the Patient Administration Team, whose powerful poster and standout catchphrase—“Sepsis is Serious: Know the Symptoms, Know the Signs”—earned them the top spot.
The team was awarded a gift card in recognition of their efforts.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped raise awareness. Every conversation about sepsis could save a life.

Appreciate the little things in life is the theme for this year’s World Mental Health Day which is today, 10 October.

Our Day Therapy Unit is a respectful place that is not just a clinical setting, but a place of healing and growth. The Unit provides access to services for Tasmanian's and our next program starts soon.

Using art therapy is just one approach towards addressing mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. At present, the Day Therapy Unit has an Art Exhibition on display (until October 15) that features some artwork created throughout the program. You can also visit this exhibition daily from 2.00pm to 8.00pm, level 2, St Luke's Hospital at Lyttleton Street, Launceston.

There are two things you will need to do to register for the program: ensure you are have a GP or psychiatrist's referral, and you will need to attend a pre-admission clinic. You must also be at least 18 years of age.
