We’re proud to share more exciting news from Robina Private Hospital 🎉

Congratulations to Dr Veya Seekis (Griffith University), Melissa Marks, Dr Kim Hurst, Sarah Mackenzie, Grace Barker and Dr Aimee Maxwell (Robina Private Hospital) on receiving a highly competitive Ignite Grant through the Eating Disorders Research & Translation Centre.

Their funded project, The Art of Connection, is a new group-based art therapy program designed to strengthen emotional understanding and connection between people recovering from eating disorders and the people who support them.
Many individuals living with eating disorders experience difficulty identifying and expressing emotions, which can lead to isolation, misunderstanding, and strain on relationships. While art therapy is widely recognised as a powerful tool for emotional exploration, it traditionally focuses on the individual.
The Art of Connection takes a pioneering paired approach, bringing together individuals in recovery and a close supporter (such as a partner, family member or friend) to create artwork side by side. Through guided reflection and shared creative experiences, the program aims to foster trust, improve emotional recognition, and deepen connection in a safe, non-verbal way.
With this funding, the team will formally evaluate the program to explore how it can be implemented across hospital and community settings - supporting recovery through creativity, connection and evidence-based care.

We are incredibly proud of our team and their ongoing commitment to innovative research that delivers real world impact for those affected by eating disorders. 👏

Dementia affects hundreds of thousands of Australians, and for many families, the first signs often begin quietly — a forgotten appointment, difficulty finding words, moments of uncertainty. These early changes can be frightening, and many people begin searching for answers long before a formal diagnosis.

At Robina Private Hospital, our New & Emerging Therapies (NET) Clinic is committed to supporting patients and families through these early stages with clear information, compassionate care, and access to emerging treatments for early Alzheimer’s disease.

We extend our sincere thanks to The Australian for shining a valuable spotlight on this important treatment and the families navigating it.

Donanemab and lecanemab are monoclonal antibody treatments that clear amyloid plaque from the brain, potentially slowing early‑stage Alzheimer’s disease.

September each year sees an important initiative in the way of raising funds, awareness and support for Women's Mental Health.
This Liptember, Robina Private raised $430! These funds have gone directly to the Liptember campaign so they can continue raising awareness and supporting women’s mental health.
All month long, we saw bright lipstick and t-shirts on the wards, and a hospital wide raffle that all contributed to this awesome effort. Every step counts, and we’re proud to make a difference! 💜

Robina Private Hospital is proud to announce our partnership with Medibank Private and to be the first and only hospital on the Gold Coast to offer the Medibank No Gap Endoscopy Program, in collaboration with participating doctors.

Robina Private Hospital CEO, Heidi Smith, says, “By joining this initiative, we are ensuring that eligible patients can undergo essential endoscopic procedures—such as colonoscopies and gastroscopies—without the burden of out-of-pocket costs. I believe it is important, as healthcare facilities, that we always seek ways to make treatment to any of our services more affordable and timely, especially coming at the right time if patients are needing a procedure before Christmas.”

Our friendly administration staff will contact the patient to discuss eligibility or costs.

Robina Private Hospital aims to make access to endoscopy services, as stress free and as quick as possible.

Dementia Action Week: Reconnect, Support, and Make a Difference

This week (15-21 September), we stand together to raise awareness and break the stigma surrounding dementia. Many individuals impacted by dementia share how friends and family often drift away, unsure of how to interact or offer support. This can lead to increased social isolation and loneliness, making the journey even harder.

But there’s hope: connection, kindness, and community support can make all the difference. This Dementia Action Week, we challenge everyone to reach out and reconnect with someone living with dementia. A simple act of care can create a profound impact.

Let’s come together, show compassion, and remind those affected that they are not alone. 💙
