Amplar Health and Calvary Health Care announce joint venture transition
Calvary Health Care and Amplar Health today announced an agreement for Calvary to exit the Calvary Amplar Health Joint Venture (CAHJV) and focus on its core business. The agreement is subject to satisfaction of a number of conditions, including consent from the South Australian Minister of Health and Wellbeing. Upon completion occurring under the agreement, Amplar Health will become the sole shareholder.
Calvary Health Care’s National Chief Executive Officer, Martin Bowles said, “Calvary is proud of the joint venture’s successes in its short time, including accreditation as one of the first stand-alone virtual hospitals. However, we have refreshed our strategic vision to deliver great, connected care across the Calvary services we provide,” said Mr Bowles.”
Amplar Health’s CEO, Rob Read echoed Mr Bowles’ comments, highlighting the success of their partnership in delivering models of care for the future to patients, outside traditional hospital settings, “Together, we’ve made significant strides in the delivery of healthcare, caring for patients where they are most comfortable and saving valuable hospital beds in the process,” said Mr Read.
“We look forward to growing the home hospital service and remain committed to advancing innovative digital health solutions to provide high-quality, care to patients in the comfort of their own homes.”

About Calvary:
In 1885, six courageous Sisters sailed into Sydney to continue the mission of Venerable Mary Potter and the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary to care for those in need. Thus began Calvary’s enduring legacy of care in Australia. Today, we continue their mission, in our hospitals, home and virtual care services, retirement living and residential aged care homes across five states and two territories.
