Calvary Retirement Communities enable you to enjoy safe, secure and relaxed community living through our residential aged care, respite accommodation and retirement villages.
Founded in 1885 by the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary, Calvary is a charitable, not-for-profit, Catholic health care organisation.
Our mission is to provide quality, compassionate health care to the most vulnerable, including those reaching the end of their life.
With over 18,000 staff and volunteers, we have a national network of 14 Public and Private Hospitals, 72 Residential Care and Retirement Communities and 19 Community Care service centres.
SmartClinics Family Medical Centres is a trusted network of general practices across Queensland, providing high-quality primary care to individuals and families in local communities. SmartClinics is part of Better Medical, a leading Australian primary care organisation supporting general practices and healthcare professionals across Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.
SmartClinics joined Better Medical in 2021, bringing together two established organisations with a shared commitment to supporting doctors, healthcare professionals and patients. Today, SmartClinics continues to operate as a trusted Queensland network while benefiting from the broader resources, expertise and support of Better Medical.
Better Medical supports more than 60 practices and 500+ GPs, providing expertise across practice operations, marketing, finance, people and culture, IT and recruitment. This allows doctors and clinical teams to focus on what matters most — providing high-quality care to their patients.
The Better Medical model combines the strength of a national network with the importance of local communities. Practices retain their local identity and relationships while accessing the systems, support and shared knowledge of a larger healthcare organisation.
Across the network, experienced GPs and healthcare professionals provide comprehensive general practice care for patients at all stages of life. Services include general health, preventative care, chronic disease management, women's health, men's health, children's health, medical assessments and a range of other primary healthcare services.
In 2025, Better Medical became part of the Medibank and Amplar Health family, marking an important milestone and providing a long-term home aligned with its purpose and values.
Today, Better Medical continues to support GPs and healthcare professionals while delivering high-quality primary care through a national network of practices.
Wellness based medicine is a shift from the old health paradigm of treating illness, to the new health agenda of prevention. This is why at wellmed we are about prevention.
