We’re excited to be trialling a new music therapy program in the neonatal unit at Mercy Hospital for Women, led by neonatologist and researcher Dr Natalie Duffy alongside registered music therapist Lauren Salib.

Launched as a four‑month research pilot, the program explores how music therapy can support babies and families in the NICU and Special Care Nursery. It aims to enhance infant neurodevelopment, help parents feel more connected, ease stress and anxiety, and create moments of calm during an incredibly vulnerable time.

This initiative is made possible thanks to the support of the Miracle Babies Foundation, in partnership with La Therapy. It is delivered at Mercy Hospital for Women in Heidelberg with support from Miracle Babies’ corporate partner, Chiesi.

Seeing the comfort and connection music can bring to families reminds us why compassionate, family‑centred care matters so much.

This work feels especially meaningful as we mark World Music Therapy Week (10–15 April), shining a light on the powerful role music can play in health and healing.
A special thanks to our partners for their collaboration and shared commitment to caring for our smallest and most vulnerable patients.

Pictured are mum Alexandra with Massimo and Leonardo, Dr Natalie Duffy, Bree from Miracle Babies Foundation and music therapist Lauren Salib.

Happy Easter from Mercy Health.

In moments of care, connection and quiet reflection, we’re reminded of the hope this season brings.

This Easter, we share words from Sr Mary Wickham RSM, whose poem Memo for Easter invites us to watch and listen for reminders of hope, seeds of faith, and signs of love.

May this season bring a sense of renewal to you and those around you.

Meet Nyah. She’s a Graduate Engineer working on the Werribee Mercy Hospital emergency department expansion.

As Melbourne’s outer west continues to grow, the project is creating local jobs and supporting construction graduates to build valuable skills on complex health projects - all while delivering faster emergency care closer to home.

The massive project will double the capacity of the emergency department – supporting our hard-working health workers to care for an additional 25,000 patients every year.

The project is on track to be completed this year.

We recently joined Minister for Health Infrastructure Melissa Horne MP, John Lister MP, Sarah Connolly MP and Mathew Hilakari MP on a site tour to see the incredible progress being made on our new emergency department for Werribee Mercy Hospital.

A big milestone has just been reached with installation complete on the front and rear canopies, which will provide important weather-protected access for patients, visitors and staff.

On track to finish mid this year, the expansion will:
✅ double current capacity
✅ increase patient treatment spaces from 33 to 67
✅ include dedicated paediatrics and adult mental health areas.
