Ladies, are you pregnant, recovering from birth, or do you want to improve your core strength?

If so, it's time to show your pelvic floor some love! 💖

The pelvic floor is an important group of muscles and ligaments that support your bladder, bowel, pelvic organs and your sexual health.

RBWH Physio, Liv is here with a simple exercise you can try to start strengthening those muscles today.

No matter your stage of life, a strong pelvic floor can make a world of difference to improve bladder and bowel control and can even enhance sexual function.

Great work,Liv!

A birthing experience that inspires you to become a midwife? Thats worth celebrating! 👶

As the RBWH Birth Centre marks 30-years of bringing new Queenslanders into the world, Graduate Midwife Sarah is one of the few whove experienced the service from both sides.

Ive had both of my children in the birth centre, Sarah said.

The experience having my first child inspired me to become a midwife to be able to provide that same level of care for others.

Across its 30-year history, the Birth Centre has welcomed more than 10,000 new additions to families in an environment that feels more like home than hospital.

The birth centre offers a home-like setting for low-risk pregnancies, Sarah said. 

Each of our birth rooms has a large bed, a beanbag and a bathtub, which allows the option for a water birth.

Helping other families have the same great experience I had, while working alongside other midwives who share the same passion for care is a dream come true.

Expectant families in the Metro North Health catchment area interested in accessing the Birth Centre should speak to their GP about this option.

So sorry to have missed the celebration today! What’s even more exciting; women can self refer online in 2 weeks time at ALL Qld hospitals!!!! A great example of what good looks like by metro north’s own Caboolture already does this, so it’s wonderful every other site will have caught up, and means no more delays in access to the safest models of care and places of birth!

I painted that lovely room . So glad it’s a nice environment to bring a new Bub into the world.

Aleena Bishop put the clary sage on

A project that promotes recycling is wonderful, but a collaboration that also raises funds for the RBWH Foundation is a dream-come-true. 🔄🙌

The Containers for Change initiative has been given a user-friendly tweak to encourage donations of 10c drink containers to specialty marked bins throughout the STARS facility. 

Coordinator of Waste Management Niel has been considering ways to grow the recycling initiative for a good cause.

To avoid waste contamination the bins needed to look noticeably different from our normal waste, so I came up with a design that makes our existing bins look like a drinking container with a straw. says Niel.

Mick from STARS Rehabilitation Engineering Team helped bring the design to life. ♻️
 
“The STARS Rehab Engineering team have a strong focus on sustainability, so we were more than happy to use our skills to support a recycling initiative. Fundraising for such a good cause is an added bonus,” Mick said.

Now can we please have this at RBWH? 😇

Great work Neil!

Well done Neil great to see your continuing waste initiatives

The good we can do really does start with you. 🥰

RBWH, STARS and Redcliffe Hospital were all inundated with stars a-plenty at todays very special Giving Day fundraising event. 

The RBWH Foundation supports RBWH, STARS, and other prestigious research institutes and centres at the Herston Health Precinct. Today, along with the Raise it for Redcliffe team at Redcliffe Hospital, they banded together to raise funds and acknowledge the extraordinary efforts involved in providing world-class care here at Metro North Health. 

Patients, staff and families had stars in their eyes as they mingled with sporting stars and celebrities and participated in activities throughout the day and lauded the efforts of the teams on this celebratory day.

Dolphins NRL Captain Tom Gilbert caught up with RBWH Foundation ambassador Glen (here with Tom and RBWH Foundation Supporter Emily,) and was delighted to support the special day.
 
Days like this ground you, Tom said.

Even though Ive been on the receiving end of medical treatment recently, its nothing compared to what some of these patients have had to endure.

Giving Day gives us an opportunity to rally behind the patients and the hospital and come together as a community to give back and get behind these remarkable individuals.

Donations can still be given at RBWH Foundation Giving Day 2025 - https://www.rbwhfoundation.com.au/giving-day-2025-home
