(1) The expansion of Clare Holland House (CHH) was officially opened on 25 June 2021.

The Clare Holland House Expansion project strengthened palliative care, with the ACT Health Directorate delivering a redesigned respite facility with an additional eight inpatient bedrooms, improved patient amenities and associated clinical and administrative support facilities.

The total project budget was $6 million, which included $4 million funded by the Commonwealth Government and $2 million donated by the Snow Foundation via Calvary Health Care ACT (Calvary). To support this expansion the 2021-22 Budget included $16.1 million over four years to progressively fund additional beds to meet growing demand and immediately expand home-based palliative care services.
