Thanks to our Mercy Health leaders who rolled up their sleeves this morning for Victoria University's Community Tree Planting Day at the Werribee Campus.

It was a fantastic opportunity to support our community partnership with VU while helping make Melbourne's west a little greener. By all accounts, the teamwork was strong, the winter sunshine delivered, and the post-planting doughnuts were well earned!

Thanks to Victoria University for hosting another great community initiative. We look forward to being involved again next year.

We welcome the Victorian Government’s $8.1 million investment in maternity care, extending the Neonatal Postnatal Support Nurse Program at Werribee Mercy Hospital, and now expanding it to Mercy Hospital for Women in Heidelberg, helping more mums and babies stay together in those precious early moments of life.

This funding means more families can stay close while babies receive the extra care they need in those first critical days, while providing registered nurses with hands-on experience in newborn care and exposure to midwifery.

We are proud to share that Kirsten Mitchener has been named the recipient of the Noala Flynn AM Award for Excellence in Palliative Care Nursing at the Palliative Care Victoria Summit.

This prestigious statewide award recognises those who go above and beyond to make a meaningful difference for patients and families. Kirsten is the first team member from Mercy Palliative Care to receive this honour, reflecting her exceptional clinical expertise, compassionate care, and commitment to mentoring others.

Her impact also extends to research and quality improvement, including leading our partnership with Ambulance Victoria.

Reflecting on her work, Kirsten shared:

“Working with people who are facing a very short life span makes you question what you are doing in your life and whether it is right… People only die once, and it’s our job to make sure they do it well.”

We are incredibly proud of Kirsten and this well-deserved recognition.
