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.
On International Volunteer Day, we pause to recognise and celebrate the countless individuals whose generous natures and sense of spirit strengthens Calvary's community values.
Every contribution matters; when we contribute together, the world becomes a kinder, more resilient place.
Calvary St Vincent's and St Luke's are incredibly grateful for the wonderful Volunteers that freely give their time and add immense value to the service that we provide.
Thank you to our Volunteers and all that you do!

The new 5 minute pick-up/drop-off parking bays are still baking in the sun so we've had to hold off on opening them for use.
You'll now find two disabled parking spaces to the left of the front entrance, and then three of the 5 minute pick-up/drop-off bays for use when either doing drop-off or collection from St Vincent's.
They will be operational shortly. We thank you for your patience while the paint finishes setting.

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!
