Calvary John James Hospital was established in March 1970 and named after the late Dr. John James, a highly respected Canberra medical practitioner and surgeon. In 2006 the hospital became part of the Calvary group, founded by the Sisters of Little Company of Mary. Calvary John James Hospital is a Catholic not-for-profit organisation, investing its returns to improve and develop facilities, staff and services for the continuing benefit of the community.

Calvary John James Hospital provides surgical and medical services and is the only private Maternity Unit in Canberra. The Calvary John James Hospital Maternity Unit and Special Care Nursery was founded in 1994 and in that time has built a reputation for providing high-quality obstetric services in a warm and caring environment. At Calvary John James Hospital, we strive to provide the highest standard of health care to our patients through evidence-based practice and access to the latest medical technology.

The Calvary John James site covers 4 hectares of beautifully landscaped gardens which provide a sanctuary to patients and visitors alike.
