Calvary Health Care

Established in 1899 by as a Homeopathic Hospital , St John’s joined the Calvary group in 2000.

Calvary St John’s private hospital is located five minutes from the heart of the city of Hobart, Tasmania, in a serene garden setting with views of the picturesque Mount Wellington.

Along with offering the only private rehabilitation unit in Hobart, Calvary St John’s offers an extensive range of health care services for the community including a contemporary day surgery unit.

We specialise in palliative and end of life care, ear nose and throat care, ophthalmology, pain management and plastic surgery.

Calvary St John’s Hospital has two community representative groups:

1. Calvary Community Council

The Calvary Community Council is a committee of community volunteers who meet regularly to manage our community benefit programs. These programs include: Community Council Grants which provide funding for local community projects who prioritise the health needs of vulnerable and marginalised Tasmanians and The Mary Potter Foundation which provides funding of hospital care for members of the community who experience economic hardship.

2. Calvary Representation

Consumer Representatives serve on a number of key committees to ensure the quality and safety of patient care at Calvary is excellent and that the consumer voice is heard in order to improve patient experience. A state-wide Community Advisory Council Group provides advice on more general community and stakeholder engagement. Through this group local consumers and communities advise Calvary leaders when it comes to designing and planning our services. Representatives are drawn from a broad cross section of the community.
