ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said: “The ACT Government continues to make significant investments in infrastructure to build Canberra’s future and ensure we meet the needs of our growing city.”

Barr also added that the Critical Services Building at the Canberra Hospital would be completed by 2024.

ACT Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith said the takeover would lead to consolidation of the public hospitals and form one health network, thereby enabling the government to “better coordinate health services, distribute resources effectively and strengthen the capacity of our workforce”. 

Calvary Public Hospital has been providing healthcare to Canberrans for the past 44 years.
