Calvary Health Care National CEO Martin Bowles to retire at end of financial year

1 min read

After eight years of leadership expanding upon the founding mission of the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary, the former Secretary of the Federal Department of Health has transformed Calvary into the modern, responsive healthcare provider it is today.  

The Catholic health, home and aged care provider owns and operates 17 hospitals, 16 retirement villages, 57 residential aged care homes and a home care service. In July 2021, it paid $380 million for ASX-listed Japara Healthcare and its 50 aged care homes and five retirement villages. 

"Under his stewardship, Calvary has continually evolved to meet the diverse and changing needs of our communities. Martin’s commitment to our values and forward-thinking approach has strengthened our organisation's foundation while preparing us for future growth,” the Not For Profit said. 

SATURDAY means business.

 "We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Martin for his visionary guidance and wish him the very best in this next chapter." 

Little Company of Mary Health Care Board Chair, Jim Birch, acknowledged the leadership and contributions of Martin over the last eight years. 

“Martin is a highly respected leader at a national and global level, and he is a truly outstanding CEO, whose substantial contribution to Calvary will be long lasting. Through his leadership Calvary has transformed into a values-driven, integrated healthcare service with an intense focus on exemplifying the mission of the Venerable Mary Potter,” Jim said. 

The Board will announce a new National Chief Executive Officer in due course.
