Every day, patients are accessing innovative treatments and contributing to research that is changing lives. But the demand for clinical trials and emerging therapies continues to grow.

That's why we're asking for your support to help build a dedicated Clinical Research Centre.đź’ś

A purpose-built centre will mean more people can access cutting-edge treatment close to home, surrounded by family, friends and their support network.

Government funding supports essential healthcare services, but community support helps us deliver more, sooner.

We're asking you to donate today and help bring more life-saving research and treatment opportunities to people across Ballarat and the Grampians region. https://ghb-care-closer-to-home.raiselysite.com/

A new specialised podiatry chair at Sloss House is helping our teams provide safer, more coordinated care for patients with complex, high-risk foot wounds.

The chair’s specialised lift and tilt functions allow our Podiatry team to safely assess, debride and manage wounds, while bringing the multidisciplinary team together in one space to review patients and respond quickly when care needs to be escalated.

Up to 480 patients each year receive care for complex, high-risk foot wounds - so having the right equipment can make a meaningful difference to both patients and the teams caring for them.

“This equipment is truly transformative as it enables timely, coordinated assessments and management.”
— Raquel Cowan, Co-Clinical Director, Hospital Without Walls

In February this year, the Ballarat Highlands Bowls Region community came together for a special Women in Bowls round, proudly wearing pink to show their support for community wellbeing.

The round raised an impressive $18,000 for several worthy causes, with $14,000 of that donated to our Cancer Wellness Centre to directly support local cancer care, a cause that is important to the bowling community.

These funds will help the Cancer Wellness Centre continue to provide free exercise and support programs for cancer patients and their families, including Tai Chi, oncology massage, the wig library, and yoga.

The success of this year’s event demonstrates the power of community, proving that when the bowling community comes together, they can make a real difference both on and off the green.

🏗️ It’s almost time to farewell Josie the Crane, the last tower crane standing onsite at the Ballarat Base Hospital Redevelopment.

For the past 14 months, three tower cranes have helped shape the new seven-level hospital tower, supporting construction of a new emergency department, new theatre suite and an additional 100 inpatient and short-stay beds.

This weekend (weather permitting), Josie the Crane will be dismantled, marking another major milestone in the $655 million redevelopment and signalling an exciting new phase of construction.

Named in honour of former nurse, educator and volunteer Josie Ashmore, the crane recognises her decades of service and lasting contribution to patient care across Grampians Health.

As Josie leaves the skyline, the transformation of Ballarat Base Hospital continues.
