    Djilba brings relief and hope 01 August 2022 Though it's traditionally the coldest month of the year, August is the month of hope and relief as it leads us into the warmer days of Djilba. Represented by the colour pink for the blossoming newness it brings in September as Kings Park lights up with its burst of floral joy. In Noongar culture, it is marked as the season of conception; probably because there is nowhere better to be during these chilly days than under the covers in a cozy embrace. Nature's finest exhibition begins with buttery creams and the vitalising perfume and hue of sunny wattle before morphing into richer golds and tangerines and culminating in a biennale of magenta, azure and violet. By the time this eruption of colour is in our sight, we will have the warmth of the sun on our face and the promise that the coldest days are behind us. Woodland birds will be nesting so tidings of magpies/koolbardi will be protect...
  • Elly and Stuart and their baby girl
    First ever waterbirth in the OPH maternity unit! 08 July 2022 Meet Elly and Stuart and their beautiful baby girl! They were the centre of a hub of excitement yesterday at WNHS at Osborne Park Hospital when first time mum Elly had the first ever waterbirth in the maternity unit! Water birth is an option that has been available to eligible women at KEMH, in the Family Birth Centre and with our Community Midwifery Program, but with Elly choosing to avoid an epidural she proceeded to use water in the bath to manage her pain. “I wanted to try and avoid an epidural in case it slowed things down and the bath and shower really helped with the pain.” Elly said her midwives were so supportive of her choice to use the bath they suggested she stay there as the labour progressed. “I was blown away by how supportive everyone was of my choices,” she said. “I had friends and family who had birthed here, which is why I chose Os...
  • Amber Jade
    New Modular Ward - Exciting Milestone 29 June 2022 We were delighted to welcome Minister for Health, Amber-Jade Sanderson this week to launch the first of four new modular wards for WA, at our Osborne Park Hospital. The dedicated rehabilitation facility will contain both single and double patient rooms along with a gymnasium, therapy pod, dining room, staff offices and a reception. The ward will officially open on 8 July having taken just over six months to construct and will be used for patients who require rehabilitation following an amputation. The new ward is seamlessly connected to the existing hospital, and with winter well and truly upon us the additional hospital capacity was made possible by modular construction and a fast-tracked approvals process.

    Aboriginal health practitioners in Western Australia 17 June 2022 The Aboriginal Health Practitioner (AHP) is a new role soon to be established within WA Health. Following a robust consultations process, negotiations are now underway to classify the new role to a relevant industrial agreement which is due to be finalised in October.

Key stakeholders including the Aboriginal Health Policy Directorate (AHPD) led by Wendy Casey, Directors of Aboriginal Health within each Health Service and the Office of the Chief Medical Officer (OCMO) have come together to support the establishment of the AHP role within WA Health.

  • David Forbes
    Hear from our Board Chair Professor David Forbes 16 June 2022 Professor Forbes speaks openly about the value of our outstanding staff and about NMHS being a values-based organisation to make us strong into the middle of the 21st century. “I think respect is the core. Respect is required to deliver good care, but it also involves teamwork. Teamwork involves innovation and integrity,” said Professor Forbes. “It’s very easy to see values as words on paper and nothing more. “But for an organisation that is values based the respect is there, the care is better the integrity and innovation and teamwork are all there and it flows from the top through the whole organisation.” Watch the full interview here (external site) to hear more from our Board Chair.
