“At its heart, healthcare is not just about treatment; it’s about how people feel while they’re receiving their care. Patient accommodation services can ease the burden of distance in those important times.” – Sarah Black, General Manager at Calvary Bruce Private Hospital.

Today, we are proud to officially reopen
in Bruce, 30 years after its original construction.

Located on the Calvary Bruce Private Hospital campus, the Cottage provides comfortable, accessible accommodation for families needing to stay close while a loved one receives treatment.

First established through the efforts of the Rotary Club of Belconnen, the Cottage has supported families for decades, and this refurbishment ensures it will continue to do so for years to come.

Take a look inside. This refreshed space offers a welcoming environment designed to ease the stress of being away from home during a challenging time.

With thanks to Rotary Club of Belconnen and all of the incredible local businesses, volunteers and community participants who made this possible: https://ow.ly/p02n50YMn37

The transformation of Calvary Rotary Cottage is taking shape.

This project is a wonderful example of Calvary’s mission at work, bringing together partners and community to support families when they need it most.

Following the site clean-up, work is now focused on creating a more welcoming and comfortable outdoor space for families.

Located in Bruce, Calvary Rotary Cottage supports those staying close to loved ones receiving care at Calvary Bruce Private Hospital and surrounding health providers.

This stage of the project brings together the Rotary Club of Belconnen, ACT Government City and Environment Directorate Urban Treescapes, Bunnings Warehouse Australia Belconnen, and community services, who have contributed significant hands-on work, along with our amazing volunteers.

It’s been inspiring to see what can be achieved when community comes together with a shared purpose.

Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this space to life.

Refurbishment works are progressing at Calvary Rotary Cottage in Bruce.

Located at Calvary Bruce Private Hospital, the Cottage supports families travelling to Canberra to stay close to loved ones receiving care.

Trades are currently undertaking key upgrades, including electrical and air conditioning works, painting and bathroom improvements, with each stage moving the project closer to completion.

These improvements will help create a calm and welcoming environment where families can rest and unwind during what can be a challenging time.

This initiative is being led and coordinated by our Regional Community Engagement Manager, whose collaboration with local businesses and stakeholders has been central to progressing the project.

We acknowledge the contributions of local businesses including Modern Heating and Cooling, Enhanced Painting Services and Tile Rescue. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Belconnen and all the local businesses, volunteers and community participants who continue to support this project.

It’s all hands on deck at Rotary Cottage.

Located in Bruce, ACT, the Cottage provides accommodation for families needing to stay close to loved ones receiving treatment in hospitals across the ACT. Originally established with the support of the Rotary Club of Belconnen, it has supported families for decades and is now being prepared for its next chapter of care.

In it's 30th year, we are proudly reopening the doors after a temporary closure to enable a renovation funded and supported by Rotary, Calvary Health Care and other local partners and businesses.

A full site clean-up is underway, supported by Community Services Work Program participants, and their efforts are already making a real, visible impact while building skills and confidence.

For families going through a difficult time, having somewhere close and comfortable to stay can make all the difference. We’ll be sharing updates along the way as Rotary and community partners bring this important facility back to life.

Thank you to the Rotary Club of Belconnen and all the local businesses, volunteers and community participants who have supported this project. Follow along to see the full transformation! 💙

Over the past several weeks, staff have been adding photos and collages of their pets to the Pet Wall in the staff room. It’s been a simple, fun way for the team to share a bit of their life outside work, and the wall is quickly filling with everything from sleepy cats to energetic dogs (and a few unexpected pets, too). Take a look at some of the pets that have made the wall so far!

✔ Why heat affects emotional wellbeing
✔ Who may be more vulnerable

One of the many things that makes Calvary Bruce Private Hospital and Hyson Green Mental Health Facility so special is the beautiful environment we’re surrounded by.
You can take in the views of Black Mountain and Telstra Tower, or the Brindabella Range stretching across the horizon. Our campus is nestled in peaceful bushland with the Bruce Ridge Nature Reserve and its beautiful walking trails nearby.
Since moving into our state‑of‑the‑art building in 2017, these surroundings have been an important part of creating a restorative and welcoming place for care. 💙
