Be there for others and make a meaningful difference.

At Calvary Health Care, we believe that "being for others" is at the heart of everything we do. As a volunteer, you'll join a dedicated team bringing comfort, dignity, and support to people when they need it most.

  • Experience the deep rewards of giving your time and heart

  • Companionship – Friendly visits, conversations, or walks

  • Exercise Volunteer – Gentle movement or walking sessions
  • Gardener – Help maintain and beautify our outdoor spaces

A Legacy of Care

Calvary Haydon offers both residential aged care and independent living units, with spacious rooms, air conditioning, and onsite parking. Our lifestyle team runs a varied calendar of activities, and residents have the opportunity to join regular outings to local cafés, bakeries, galleries, and other community spaces.

Calvary Haydon is named in honour of the Very Rev. Monsignor Patrick Maurice Haydon, the first parish priest of Canberra. The youngest of nine children, Monsignor Haydon stood 6'4" tall and was both academically gifted and deeply committed to his faith. He entered the priesthood straight from school and, with special dispensation, was ordained at the age of 22 — two years younger than the usual minimum.

In 1928, he was appointed the first pastor of St Christopher's Parish (now the Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulburn) and later became Vicar-General of the Diocese in 1940. In 1941, Pope Pius XII awarded him the title of Protonotary Apostolic - the highest honour for a monsignor.
