Settlement reached with Calvary Health Care
Settlement reached with Calvary Health Care
www.cmtedd.act.gov.auHere’s the latest public information I can share about Calvary Health Care ACT Limited up to now.
Direct answer
- In September 2025, the ACT Government and Calvary Health Care ACT reached a deed of settlement and release related to the acquisition of Calvary Public Hospital Bruce (now North Canberra Hospital). The settlement included a cash payment of about $65 million (in addition to $23.2 million already paid) and an Operations Agreement to support ongoing collaboration at the Bruce campus. This effectively concludes the acquisition process and finalizes outstanding claims under the agreement. [Sources: ACT Government media release; Mirage News coverage of the settlement][1][2]
Context and implications
- The settlement was part of the broader process following the ACT Government’s 2023 acquisition of Calvary Public Hospital Bruce to facilitate the development of a new northside hospital precinct. The government described the arrangement as providing certainty for both the Territory and Calvary and concluding the acquisition process. The Operations Agreement aims to maintain collaboration for Bruce’s ongoing operations.[2][1]
- Calvary Health Care ACT’s own materials for 2024–2025 discuss ongoing asset investments and redevelopments in their network, including hospital renovations and expansions in various locations. While these references are more about Calvary’s broader portfolio, they indicate continuing activity and growth within the organization.[3]

- There are press and media reports from late 2025 documenting the settlement and its totals, and an ACT government statement emphasizing completion of the acquisition and the transition arrangements. If you need the exact wording or official quotes, I can summarize or pull specific passages.[1][2]
Would you like me to pull the official ACT government release text or Calvary’s latest annual review to quote precise figures or statements? I can also summarize how this settlement affects ongoing services at Bruce/North Canberra Hospital and what it means for public health planning in Canberra.
