Supporting wellbeing through the power of technology 📱
At the Women`s and Children`s Hospital, care extends beyond treatment. It’s about creating a safe and supportive space for healing, expression and connection.
With access to iPads on Mallee Ward, adolescents can take part in creative and calming activities that support their mental wellbeing, encouraging positive and meaningful outcomes.
Thanks to the ongoing support of our community, we’re able to introduce resources like these, enhancing care and helping young people feel more supported every step of the way.

Palliative care is about more than end-of-life care.
It is about supporting children and families through every moment that matters most.
Through the Alongside Grief & Loss Program, families are supported not only in grief, but in connection, expression, and care that continues beyond the clinical setting.
Spencer and his sister Indy both received art therapy support during his treatment, with continued support for Indy through her school in the year that followed Spencer`s passing.
As Spencer and Indy`s mum, Laura, shared, "Children process things so differently through art therapy. They can express things in ways they cannot always say out loud."
"Art therapy was so important for Indy. Without that support, I don`t think she would`ve coped."
This Palliative Care Week, we recognise the importance of care that surrounds the whole family, emotionally, practically, and compassionately.

A legacy built on care, compassion and commitment đź’›
In recognition of International Nurses Day, we’re proud to share the story of Michelle Lock’s family and their extraordinary four generation legacy of paediatric nursing.
From Michelle’s grandmother Margaret, to mother Mary, to herself, and now daughter Sarah, the family has collectively dedicated nearly 80 years to caring for children and families with compassion, resilience and heart.
The story began when Margaret commenced her nursing training at Adelaide Children’s Hospital in 1948 and continues today as Sarah carries the family tradition forward.
While much in healthcare has evolved over the decades, one thing remains constant: the human touch at the heart of nursing.
This International Nurses Day, we honour Michelle’s remarkable family and every nurse whose dedication continues to shape healthier futures for children and families.
