Calvary Health Care
About Company
For nearly 140 years, Calvary Health Care has been guided by one simple but powerful mission: to provide compassionate, high-quality care to those who need it most.
Founded in 1885 by the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary, Calvary began as a small ministry dedicated to supporting the vulnerable and those at the end of life. Today, it stands as one of Australia’s largest charitable, not-for-profit Catholic health care organisations — continuing that same commitment with strength, scale, and heart.
