140 years of compassion
It all began in 1885, when six courageous Sisters of the Little Company of Mary arrived in Sydney after a seven-week voyage from Europe. They came from different walks of life, united by a single purpose: to care for the sick, the dying, and the vulnerable.
Their journey aboard the S.S. Liguria was marked by prayer, perseverance, and storms. When they arrived at Port Jackson, they were welcomed by a crowd of Irish Australians and began their Mission in humble, temporary homes, including one described as a “decaying building.” Within a year, they had welcomed new postulants, laid the foundation for their convent, and opened the Children’s Hospital of the Holy Child.
“We are commencing a work in time that is to influence eternity.” — Venerable Mother Mary Potter.
Today, that work lives on in Calvary’s hospitals, aged care homes, and community services across five states and two territories.

Virtual reality enriching lives in Springvale
Earlier this year, the family of a Calvary Springvale Aged Care home resident donated $7,000 to honour the compassionate care their loved one received.
Their gift funded a NeuronsVR headset, an innovative virtual reality system that lets residents enjoy immersive experiences such as travel, nature, and adventure.
This thoughtful donation enhances wellbeing, especially for residents with mobility or cognitive challenges, creating moments of joy and calm.
We are deeply grateful to this incredible family for turning gratitude into generosity and bringing comfort and inspiration to so many.
Calvary Bethlehem Charity Golf Day
Thank you to everyone who joined the 5th Annual Calvary Health Care Bethlehem Charity Golf Day at Victoria Golf Club.
Your generosity raised vital funds to support Calvary’s medical research program, bringing us closer to breakthroughs in Motor Neurone Disease and improving lives.
The day was filled with friendly competition, shared purpose, and community spirit, all made possible by our Community Advisory Council, the Victoria Golf Club team, and everybody who came along to play and gave so generously.
Home Care Support Worker Conference
Calvary Home Care’s Art of Exquisite Care conference thrives thanks to the generosity of the late Ruth Marcella Parnell, who wished to honour the exceptional care she received.
Her thoughtful bequest has funded both the 2024 and 2025 conferences, an enduring legacy that supports those who care with compassion and skill.
Bringing together support workers, professionals, and partners, the conference deepens empathy and celebrates person-centred care. We are profoundly thankful for Ruth’s gift, which continues to strengthen our workforce and enrich countless lives.
Accessible garden at Calvary Cooinda
The transformation of Calvary Cooinda Aged Care home’s outdoor spaces is underway, made possible by the incredible generosity of the Singleton community.
What began as a simple walking path has grown into a $155,000 vision for 400 metres of accessible paths, raised garden beds, native plants, a chicken coop, and shaded areas for relaxation.
Funding so far has come from Singleton Districts Op Shop, Club Singleton, the Council’s Enriching Local Area Grant, and many individual donors who gave from the heart. Thanks to this ongoing community support, the garden will soon become a safe, accessible and welcoming space that promotes wellbeing, independence, and joy for all residents.
Scalp Cooling System at Calvary Mater Newcastle
Calvary Mater Newcastle Hospital is deeply grateful to the Lions Club of Newcastle and Lions across the Hunter for raising over $61,000 to fund a new Paxman Scalp Cooling System and essential accessories.
Hair loss is one of the most distressing side effects of chemotherapy. This system helps patients retain their hair, dignity, and confidence at a difficult time.
Funding came from the Australian Lions Foundation, the NSW-ACT Lions Sight and Health Foundation, and local clubs; a wonderful example of community collaboration making a real difference.
