Over the past 18 -months, a meaningful partnership has been growing between the Cockburn Mental Health team and our neighbours at the Fremantle Dockers AFL Women’s team 🤝

What began as early conversations has developed into a connection grounded in shared values, community spirit and a commitment to wellbeing.

Recently, Dockers AFLW players joined women in our service for a collaborative activity session - creating a welcoming space for shared connection, creativity, and community.

This partnership highlights the important role that community plays in mental health, fostering connection, building confidence and a sense of belonging 💜

Rockingham General Hospitals’ Surgical Co-Director, Dr Dominik Stepien and wife Emmy, recently welcomed their baby girl into the world 👶

Baby Eleanora arrived at 8.18pm on Thursday 28 May – the same day the hospital turned 50!

In a touching tribute to the occasion, mum and dad chose a name with a special connection to the hospital, inspired by Elanora – the name of both the surrounding street and onsite café.

Welcome to the world Eleanora 💜

Meet Clinton Warner 👋

A Senior Social Worker for SMHS Mental Health at Fremantle Hospital, Clinton’s role within the State's first 24/7 Mental Health Crisis Centre places him at the forefront of the mental health service expansion at Fremantle Hospital.

With the phased opening of new specialist mental health services at the hospital starting in July, Clinton says there is increased optimism around the capacity to provide patients and the wider community with more comprehensive care.

The new round-the-clock Crisis Centre service means Clinton will be doing night shift as a Social Worker for the first time since his student days. Working with a very close and supportive group of people, Clinton says his team of highly experienced, skilled and expert clinicians is the reason behind his 11 years and counting in the role 🙌

Clinton enjoys the variety of each working day and has memorably been called out to see someone on their boat and also by golf buggy to the 7th hole of a golf course.

Clinton says he feels a real privilege in being trusted by people with their stories and life experiences. He also finds it very rewarding in being a part of supporting someone, and often their family, to take their first steps on a journey of recovery.

1,000 vaccinations and counting! 🎉

The team at Fiona Stanley Hospital has hit an incredible milestone – delivering their 1,000th community flu vaccination 👏

For the first time, both Fiona Stanley and Fremantle hospitals are offering free flu vaccinations for the community, helping protect people aged 2 to 64 this winter.

✅ Walk in, no booking needed
✅ Available at both sites
✅ Needle free FluMist option for kids aged 2–11

If you’re heading to either site, there’s still time to roll up your sleeve and get vaccinated.

As we head into winter, getting vaccinated is one of the simplest ways to protect yourself, your family and the community.

A huge shout out to the teams making this happen and to everyone that’s stopped by to get their flu shot 💜

Following a perfect pregnancy, Amy knew something wasn’t right when she went into labour with her third son. Once she got to the hospital, she and husband Josh were given the devastating news that there was no heartbeat.

Jackson Cole Bantick was born sleeping on his due date, 26 February 2019.

The family was able to spend three days with Jackson thanks to a Cuddle Cot - a specialised cooling system that lies beneath the baby in a custom designed bassinet - allowing parents to spend precious moments with their child before saying their final goodbyes.

To support other grieving families, the Bantick family raised $6,500 and donated a Cuddle Cot through the Bears Of Hope Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support group, to Rockingham General Hospital where their two older sons Cooper and Kade were born.

Their generous and heartfelt donation to the maternity ward allows other families who experience stillbirth to keep their baby close to them – gifting them time to create everlasting memories 💜
