Here’s the latest I can confirm from publicly available reports up to 2025:
-
Settlement reached with Calvary Health Care ACT: In September 2025, the ACT Government and Calvary Health Care ACT finalized a deed of settlement and release, concluding the Just Terms process related to the acquisition of Calvary Public Hospital Bruce. The settlement included a 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 confirms ongoing partnership arrangements [source discussions summarized from ACT government media releases and Mirage News coverage dated 2025-09-01].[1][2]
-
Context: The ACT Government acquired Calvary Public Hospital Bruce (now North Canberra Hospital) in 2023 as part of broader health infrastructure planning, including the large new northside hospital project with Multiplex as early delivery partner. The 2025 settlement is described as providing certainty for both government and Calvary and as a pathway to ongoing collaboration in Bruce.[2][1]
-
Calvary Health Care ACT’s public-facing materials emphasize ongoing investments and redevelopments across Calvary facilities, including in Canberra, Adelaide, and Tasmania, though these items are separate from the ACT Bruce acquisition settlement. The 2024–2025 Calvary Annual Review notes major redevelopments and capital projects across its network.[3]
What this means for you in practical terms:
- If you are tracking government-commissioned compensation and acquisition settlements in the ACT, the Bruce acquisition has a formal closure with a defined settlement amount and an active operations agreement to support ongoing services there.[1][2]
- For Calvary’s broader health network news, the organization continues to report capital projects and service expansions across its facilities, which may be relevant if you’re monitoring Calvary’s strategic investments beyond Canberra.[3]
Would you like me to pull the most exact phrasing from the ACT media release and Mirage News articles, or summarize the key terms of the Operations Agreement if available? I can also look for any subsequent updates post-September 2025 if you want the very latest.
