Calvary Health Care Tasmania manages Calvary St Luke’s private hospital and Calvary St Vincent’s

Our mission is to provide quality, compassionate health care to the most vulnerable, including those reaching the end of their life. With over 18,000 staff and volunteers, we have a national network of 14 Public and Private Hospitals, 72 Residential Care and Retirement Communities and 19 Community Care service centres.

Today, Calvary St Vincent’s and St Luke’s stand together in recognition of World Parkinson’s Day — a moment to honour every person living with Parkinson’s, their families, and the dedicated teams who walk beside them.

Patient‑focused care is at the heart of everything we do. Our clinicians, nurses, allied health teams and support staff work closely with each individual to understand their unique journey and ensure dignity, comfort and connection at every step.

Today we raise awareness, deepen understanding, and reaffirm our mission: to be there for those in our care, with empathy, respect and unwavering support.

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
• Theme Editor – Creating realistic simulations

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 .

Calvary Launceston’s management team recently spent time with Alastair Lynch from Healthy Business for an engaging leadership session.

Together, they explored how lessons from elite sport can translate into strong leadership in the workplace, while also focusing on the importance of maintaining a healthy, holistic mindset at work.

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.

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.
