The Women’s recently marked International Day of the Midwife (5 May) and International Nurses Day (12 May) by holding its annual Nursing and Midwifery Awards.

The Royal Women’s Hospital has marked National Sorry Day with a special webinar for its staff exploring intergenerational trauma, the role of the Women’s in the Stolen Generations and the importance of reconciliation and healing.

Key announcements commended by the Women’s include the $6.5 million for new and existing sexual and reproductive health hubs; $354 million for family violence prevention and response; $70 million for public IVF services; and the $6.9 million for community perinatal health teams.  

A test predicting the potentially fatal pregnancy condition, preeclampsia, has reached a milestone in its use here at the Women's – the first hospital in Australia to study and rollout use of the test.

The Royal Women’s Hospital has welcomed yesterday’s announcement by the Victorian Minister for Health to invest $70 million to establish public fertility care services in Victoria.

Research conducted here at the Women's has found that many Australian women are opting to purchase unproven IVF add-ons in an effort to improve their chances of having a baby.
