The Calvary Amplar Health Joint Venture has a strong commitment to safety and quality across all our health programs.
Clinical governance is key to the provision of high quality and safe care that focuses on the patient experience and outcome.
The Calvary Amplar Health Joint Venture was one of the first standalone virtual hospitals delivering acute care to be nationally accredited to the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards in March 2023.
Certification involved visits to the Virtual Care Centre inclusive of the patient environment, from an independent team of expert health specific professional auditors who review the quality and safety of the services provided. Our achievements were measured against best practice by this review team.
The Calvary Amplar Health Joint Venture remains committed to excellence, a well-maintained environment and welcoming experience for patients and visitors.
Patient engagement is at the centre of everything we do.

The Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights describes the rights of patients and other people using the Australian health system. These rights are essential to make sure that, wherever and whenever care is provided, it is of high quality and is safe.
The Charter recognises that people receiving care and people providing care all have important parts to play in achieving healthcare rights. The Charter allows patients, consumers, families, carers and services providing health care to share an understanding of the rights of people receiving health care. This helps everyone to work together towards a safe and high quality health system. A genuine partnership between patients, consumers and providers is important so that everyone achieves the best possible outcomes.
The South Australian Health and Community Services Complaints Commissioner (HCSCC) is an independent, statutory office established by the Health and Community Services Complaints Act 2004. The HCSCC helps consumers, carers and service providers (including government, private and non-government health and community services) to try and resolve complaints.
