Q-bital completes two new theatre installations for Calvary St Vincent’s Hospital, Launceston – helping to future-proof patient care
Launceston, 4th May 2026
Q-bital Healthcare Solutions is pleased to announce the installation of two new modular operating theatres at Calvary St Vincent’s Hospital in Launceston, marking a significant milestone in strengthening surgical capacity for Northern Tasmania.
The installation allows the hospital to maintain surgical throughput during refurbishment works without reducing patient access, while also providing flexibility to respond to fluctuations in demand.
Calvary’s decision to install these facilities demonstrates its commitment to maintaining high-quality surgical care for the Launceston and Northern Tasmania community.
The new state-of-the-art modular theatres will support urgent, short-term and long-term surgical needs, enabling the hospital to maintain clinical output during refurbishment works and respond flexibly to fluctuations in demand.
Calvary St Vincent’s Hospital General Manager, Ms Kate Pryde, said the project reflects a significant uplift in the hospital’s ability to maintain surgical services during periods of disruption.
“Calvary has worked closely with Q-bital and we are delighted with the end result,” Ms Pryde said.
“This has been a collaborative effort across the board and we have come a long way in the last five months to now be able to use the theatres for the first time.
“This is a first for Tasmania and we are both proud of that.”
Peter Spryszynski, Country Manager for Q-bital Australia, said the project highlights the critical role modular healthcare infrastructure plays in supporting hospitals to expand or protect capacity without disruption.
“The installation of the two new modular theatres at Calvary St Vincent’s Hospital represents a significant step in safeguarding surgical services for the Launceston community. Our modular solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing hospital infrastructure, allowing private and public operators alike to continue delivering essential care during refurbishments, upgrades or periods of increased demand.”
The theatres have been purpose-built to meet Australian healthcare standards, providing a fully compliant, high-specification clinical environment equivalent to a permanent facility.
Delivered through Q-bital’s proven design, manufacture and installation processes, the modular units are engineered to minimise disruption to hospital operations while accelerating project timelines.
Mr Spryszynski added, “Q-bital is proud to be a leader in the manufacture and installation of modular healthcare facilities across Australia. Our expertise enables hospitals to rapidly increase clinical capacity in a safe, efficient and fully compliant way, whether responding to emergencies, managing infrastructure upgrades or addressing growing patient demand.”
For Calvary St Vincent’s Hospital, the project represents an important investment in the long-term sustainability of surgical services in Northern Tasmania. By introducing additional theatre capacity, the hospital can continue meeting the region’s surgical needs while maintaining high standards of patient care.
