THE ZITA MARY CLINIC - HOW DO I GET
THERE?
Click here to return to the main webpage for the
Canberra One-Stop Cancer Web-Shop.
Calvary Hospital is located on the corner of Belconnen Way and
Haydon Drive. There are two routes to get to the Zita Mary Clinic
- either via the front entrance of the Hospital, or the rear Day
Services entrance located near Accident and Emergency.
Parking is becoming more difficult at Calvary. The parking
spaces at the front of the building can be full for most of the
day, as are the parking areas to the north of the rear entrance.
If stuck, and if you don't mind walking, try the parking areas to
the north-west, tucked away in the middle of the complex. Paid parking will be introduced from 1 July 2006.
From the front
|
The front of the Hospital is being
renovated but you may still enter through here. The Zita
Mary Clinic is on the second level in the rooms to the
right of the white entrance awning shown in the photo.
|
Either take the lift to Floor 2 or walk
up one flight of stairs. The ground-level entrance is
actually Floor 1. At the top of the stairs you will see
this sign. Unfortunately, it does not yet identify the
direction to the Zita Mary Clinic. Follow the arrows to
the right (Emergency etc) and the Clinic is the first set
of rooms on your right.
|
|
This is the corridor leading to the
Clinic. The entrance is just opposite the corridor which
the person in the photo is about to enter.There is a
distinctive wood panel wall with the name on it.
|
|
From the back
It could be more convenient to enter via the Day Services
entrance at the rear of the Hospital, next door to Accident and
Emergency on one side and Mental Health Services on the other.
The Day Services entrance is next door to
Accident and Emergency. Unfortunately there is no
external sign showing the way to the Zita Mary Clinic.
Walk along the covered way, through the doors, and turn
left at the end of the corridor where there is a big wall
sign "Floor 2".
|
You will come through the doors with the
"Exit" sign above them. Proceed down this
corridor. The Zita Mary Clinic is listed on the ceiling
directory sign.
|
|
You can't miss the
Clinic sign.

This is the reception area where you
report in.
Calvary Health Care ACT conducts the
Calvary Public Hospital, Calvary Private Hospital,
Calvary Clinic and Clare Holland House (the hospice) in
the ACT. The Clinic is part of the Public Hospital.
Calvary Health Care is run by the Little Company of Mary,
which is a Catholic Religious Order of nuns founded by
Mother Mary Potter and hence you will see discrete
religious symbols here and there, such as the Cross on
this office wall. The Hospital maintains an active
Pastoral Care unit which is available to everyone
(including Oncology Clinic patients and carers) and which
has links to religious ministers from all denominations.

This is the waiting room
opposite the reception area. There is a magnificient
display of colourful artificial flowers.
