At Calvary Hobart, we’re proud to support patients and families facing blood cancer — and we’re especially grateful to the David Collins Leukaemia Foundation of Tasmania.

Their generosity helped create the David Collins Out-Patients Oncology Suite at our St John’s Campus, funding vital equipment and refurbishments that have strengthened our oncology services. Thanks to this support, patients now receive treatment in a more comfortable, welcoming and well-equipped environment.

This Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we honour the Foundation’s legacy and reaffirm our commitment to providing compassionate care for every Tasmanian impacted by blood cancer.

💙 Together, we bring hope and healing.

On Friday, 5th September, Calvary Lenah Valley Hospital was once again graced with a burst of colour and compassion, thanks to the annual flower drive organised by The Friends’ School. Collected from the gardens of school families, students create bouquets with fresh flowers and handmade cards for patients across the wards.

This heart-warming initiative has become a tradition, bringing not only beautiful flowers but also a wonderful surprise to those in our care. As Sean Conry, Manager of Pastoral Care and Mission Integration, shared, “More than one patient teared up as Pastoral Care staff explained the gesture and distributed the flowers. It’s a simple act, but its impact is profound.”

The Friends’ School noted the positive feedback received within just an hour of the deliveries, with calls and emails expressing gratitude for the thoughtful gesture. Plans are already underway to expand the experience next year, allowing students to stay and accompany staff as they deliver flowers to patients—an opportunity for them to witness firsthand the power of generosity and human connection.

This collaboration between Calvary and The Friends’ School is a terrific example of our wider community joining us in “being for others”.

At Calvary Hobart, we’re proud to have pioneered robotic surgery in Tasmania.

Since introducing the Da Vinci surgical system in 2019, our specialists have performed nearly 900 minimally-invasive surgeries in gynaecology and urology, including treatment for endometriosis, hysterectomies, prostatectomies and nephrectomies. Robotic surgery provides an advancement in techniques to perform more challenging procedures, along with greater clinical outcomes for patients.

In 2020, we expanded our program with the ROSA robotic platform, supporting precision in orthopaedic procedures such as knee replacements.

Our surgeons have seen first-hand how robotics enhances surgical precision, reduces recovery times, and delivers better outcomes for Tasmanian patients.
Robotic surgery at Calvary has become a highly successful program, delivering innovation, accuracy and compassionate care to our community.

Last week, our teams at Calvary Lenah Valley (Thursday) and Calvary St John’s (Wednesday) came together for two special BBQs in recognition of RUOK? Day.

The BBQs were a wonderful success — with staff, patients and visitors enjoying the time to pause, share a meal and reflect on the importance of asking, “Are you really OK?”.

We are especially grateful to our incredible Catering and Kitchen teams, whose hard work and generosity made both events possible. From preparing the delicious food to creating a welcoming atmosphere, their efforts helped turn a meal into a meaningful moment.

At the heart of RUOK? Day is a message we hold close at Calvary: a simple question can change a life. Taking the time to listen, to notice, and to care can make all the difference.

Let’s keep the conversations going, today and every day.

It's officially Jean Hailes for Women's Health Women's Health Week. 💙

At Calvary Lenah Valley Hospital, we're celebrating the people who make a difference every day in women's health. Midwifery Nurse Educators Tegan and Leila are nurturing the next generation of midwives, helping women feel supported, informed, and empowered through every step of their care.

Reflecting on their work, Tegan shared: "Being a midwife isn't just what I do, it's who I am. Over the years, I've had the honour of supporting women and their families through some of life's most intimate and transformative moments. I'm deeply passionate about women's health, advocacy, and woman-centred care; ensuring every woman feels empowered, respected, and truly cared for in a way that honours her choices, voice, and individual journey."

Leila added: "Women's health matters to me as women have historically (and continue to be – although it is improving!) been excluded from research and improvement around our health. Women continue to experience medical discrimination and bias from healthcare providers, and our work as midwives and strong advocates is as important as ever. I love working with women because we are magic! What women's bodies can do amazes me every day. We are so strong. Working with women and being part of the birth experience never gets old."

Thank you to everyone who plays a role in supporting and advancing women's health across our communities. Visit our website to learn more about how Tegan and Leila are empowering future midwives: https://ow.ly/oSpE50WOTVi

Friday morning at Calvary looked a little brighter than usual.
Along the hallways and wards, purple hats, ribbons, and socks appeared—each one a small but powerful symbol of support. Staff and volunteers had searched their drawers for splashes of purple.

The celebration wasn’t just about colour—it was about sending a message.
By proudly wearing purple, the Calvary Tasmania community, together with the Staff Inclusion Working Group, showed patients, consumers, colleagues, and visitors that everyone is welcome.

It was a day to stand up for inclusion, to honour the spirit of diversity, and to let the LGBTQIA+ community know: you belong here.
