Calvary Adelaide Hospital

Calvary Adelaide Hospital Founded in 1885 by the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary, Calvary is a charitable, not-for-profit, Catholic health care organisation.

Calvary has been caring for South Australians since 1900, and in early 2020, opened the new Calvary Adelaide Hospital, the largest private hospital in the state. 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.

Celebrating the festive season and the end to another great year, the last all-staff lunch of 2025 was another big hit.

Served by the executive and management teams, the traditional Christmas fare cooked by our marvellous hospitality team, was enjoyed by many – along with the annual gift bags with sweet treats to take home.

These gift bags are coordinated across all our hospital sites, with festive items for staff and volunteers to enjoy as a small token of our thanks for all they do throughout the year.

Thank you to everyone who helped source the items, pack, and deliver all the bags. It is a monumental effort to do this for each staff member and volunteer, so we thank you sincerely for bringing some extra Christmas cheer to your colleagues.

Recently Patient Services and Business Development staff hosted Practice Managers from across our network of Specialists for a festive breakfast. A fun occasion to celebrate the end of the year, it was also a wonderful opportunity to continue our collaboration; ensuring the best possible patient journey for all involved.

Thank you to all those who attended, and to those we have worked with throughout the year.

Our wonderful volunteers came together last week for a special Christmas lunch.

Lovingly prepared by our hospitality team, the lunch was a fun way for the volunteers to connect and celebrate in the lead up to the festive season. Managers and staff were on hand to ensure the volunteers enjoyed themselves, and know just how much they are appreciated.

Volunteers work across the hospital in many different areas - looking after patients and helping staff in a myriad of ways.
A huge thank you to each and every one of our dedicated volunteers, and a very Merry Christmas from the bottom of our hearts!

Recently, our teams came together for a Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) simulation as part of a BloodSafe grant initiative.
MTP is a life-saving process for patients experiencing massive haemorrhage, so the scenario involved a critically unwell simulated patient in the Emergency Department, requiring urgent activation of the MTP and subsequent transfer to ICU.

This simulation tested systems and workflows across ED, ICU, and Clinpath, ensuring rapid coordination and safe delivery of blood products when every second counts. Simulations like this help us refine communication, streamline processes, and strengthen interdepartmental teamwork.

Thank you to the incredible teams from Learning & Development, Emergency, ICU and Care 24-7 Emergency Specialists for their collaboration and commitment to patient safety.

Thank you to these talented students from St Andrew's School for sharing their gifts of music with us!

Celebrating Perioperative Nurses Week with our outstanding team.

These are the faces that greet and ready patients for surgery - who care for them during and after their procedure, and who ensure all the instruments and equipment are clean, sterile and ready to go.

Thank you for all that you do to keep our patients safe and well cared for. Your genuine care, professionalism and expertise are second to none, and we value each and every one of you!

Today on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, at the eleventh hour, we honour the memory of those who died or who were injured in wars and armed conflicts.

They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest we forget.

Staff were on hand yesterday at the TAFE SA Careers Week Expo, where they connected with a diverse group of attendees including school leavers, new migrants, individuals with English as a second language, and those seeking to re-enter the workforce or progress their careers.

Lara and Bree showcased the wide range of employment opportunities available across housekeeping, kitchen, cleaning, nursing, and allied health assistance roles. The event was vibrant and engaging, with an estimated 500 attendees throughout the day, providing an excellent platform to promote Calvary and the rewarding career pathways we offer.

Celebrations to mark Calvary’s 125 years in South Australia culminated in a spectacular Gala Ball on the weekend, where staff, specialists, volunteers, sponsors and special guests came together to acknowledge this remarkable ‘quasquicentennial’ milestone.

The joy-filled evening, with beautiful MC Lauren from Adelady, featured a video which showcased Calvary’s rich history along with the variety of services now offered across SA, including our hospitals, home care, aged, and residential care. It highlighted the people within Calvary who continue the legacy of care that has been passed from the Sisters who arrived in Adelaide from Sydney in 1900, to carry on the work of Mary Potter here today.

As part of the celebrations, fundraising efforts via a silent auction and wine wall were well supported, and it is our great pleasure to announce that funds raised on the evening exceeded $20,000. These have gone directly to the The Mary Potter Foundation Inc which supports the Mary Potter Hospice in its mission to provide loving, dignified, and meaningful end-of-life care for patients and their families.

The sold-out event would not have been possible without our sponsors which included HPS, Schiavello, and Wilhelm – along with wine sponsor Sorby Adams Wines. We thank them all sincerely for their generosity and support.

Thank you to everyone who helped to make this event a truly special celebration, and we look forward to continuing our mission of care for our community into the future.
