The new ride-on mowers at RBWH are a cut above the rest at keeping campus gardens looking their best. 🏡💚
The Metro North Environment and Waste Team recently received new electric mowers for use at RBWH and Rosemount campuses, replacing the older fuel-powered models.
RBWH Gardens Coordinator Brad, pictured with gardener, Alex has been enjoying the benefits.
"The new mowers are quieter and don't produce exhaust fumes, so we can use them closer to patients, staff and visitors," Brad said.
"The electric model is also more sustainable, which means they're better for the planet, while providing a much better user experience for the operator."
Well done team
Bathrooms with more bench space, additional hooks and a disposable bin in every cubicle. These may sound like small adjustments, but for people living with a stoma, they can make a big difference.
To coincide with Stomal Therapy Awareness Week, RBWH this week opened its first stoma-friendly toilet to provide personal space and dignity for patients who would otherwise just 'make do'.
Patient Mel is one of more than 50,000 Australians living with a stoma - a surgically created opening in the abdomen that allows waste to be eliminated effectively.
"This is the first time I've seen a public toilet truly set up for people like me." she says.
"Changing or emptying a bag can be stressful. Regular cubicles just don't give you the space of surfaces needed to do this hygienically."
"I hope this is the start of a wider shift towards more inclusive and thoughtful design in public facilities."
The RBWH Stomal Therapy Team perform around 200 procedures each year for patients with various conditions including bowel cancer and diverticulitis.
More bathrooms at RBWH will be modified to make life easier for patients with a stoma soon.
Also need this for people who self catheterise . Most public toilets don’t have the room to setup if you have to measure your output 😥
Just Ashame the Toilets at Metro North Health Northlakes all have Small Toilet Cubicals tho....Dont cater for slightly larger guys .......
Awesome 👏

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!
