Mission, Values and Strategy
As a Catholic Health, Community and Aged Care provider, our vision is to excel, and to be recognised, as a continuing source of healing, hope and nurturing to the people and communities we serve. We do this through our values of Hospitality, Healing, Stewardship and Respect.
Heritage
Calvary was founded by six courageous Sisters of the Little Company of Mary, who sailed into Sydney on the SS Liguria on 4 November 1885 and established nursing services, a soup kitchen, a night refuge, a school for the blind, and a parish school; and providing social services. The Little Company of Mary pioneers had little knowledge of the healthcare legacy they would create. Theirs is a story of enduring care for the physical and spiritual health of so many Australians: firstly on the streets of Sydney and the rudimentary beginnings of home nursing; latterly and currently in the stewardship of some of Australia’s best-known and much-loved hospitals, together with a national Calvary health, community and aged care ministry.
The Spirit of Calvary
The Spirit of Calvary expresses how we care for each other, and how we care for our patients, our residents and our clients by ‘Being for Others’.

Your family, those who care for you, and the wider community we serve, matter.
