From the Adolescent Ward to the café walls, these artworks capture the spirit of young artists in full colour 🎨🖌️
During the school holidays, young people on the Adolescent Ward worked together with Social Work Placement Student Scarlett to create these vibrant artworks.
The activity was designed to encourage creativity, connection and fun, giving young people the opportunity to work together and express themselves through art. The energy and joy of the group shine through in the liveliness of the finished pieces.
These artworks will soon be displayed on the Adolescent Ward, helping to brighten the space by adding colour and joy. We`re proud to support this project through out Arts in Health Program.
‘Expressions of Adolescence’ is a pop-up exhibition currently outside the Women`s and Children`s Hospital Cafe.

Women’s health starts with feeling safe, heard and supported.
During Cervical Health Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the work of Cathy Leane and her team at the Women’s and Children’s Health Network. With the WCH Foundation`s support, they are co-designing community-based Yarning Circles that integrate Aboriginal ways of knowing into sexual, reproductive and perinatal healthcare.
These Yarning Circles create safe spaces for Aboriginal women to share knowledge, build connection, and strengthen health literacy, empowering women and families to engage confidently with care.

Children recovering from orthopaedic surgery at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital now have a colourful sensory cart to support them through their rehabilitation.
Thanks to your support, we were able to fund a new mobile sensory cart, featuring bubble tubes, fibre-optic strands, interactive panels and soft projections, to help children feel grounded, calm and engaged during therapy and procedures.
“Hospitals can feel overwhelming and unfamiliar for children and their families. By meeting their sensory needs, we can reduce stress and help individuals to feel safe to participate in therapy and interventions, creating positive experiences in hospital,” says Occupational Therapist Rebecca Appleby.
For 10-year-old Max, the cart has become a key part of his rehabilitation therapy. “It’s really cool. I rate it nine out of ten,” he says with a grin.
We love seeing projects like this make challenging moments calmer, happier and more positive for children and their families.
