Just after midnight on New Year’s Day, baby Eli was born at Mercy Hospital for Women — becoming Melbourne’s first baby of 2026.

Eli’s arrival followed a long labour and was supported by a dedicated New Year’s Eve team, including three of our doctors who were on shift overnight, alongside Monica, a midwife who has cared for families at Mercy Hospital for Women for 30 years. Together, they supported Dana through the birth and into those first precious moments of 2026.

Moments like this reflect the teamwork, experience and commitment of our clinicians, who show up every day — including holidays — to provide compassionate care when it matters most.

Congratulations to Dana and Alex, and thank you to the team who welcomed 2026 in the best possible way.

If parenting feels heavier right now, it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. After weeks of disrupted routines, broken sleep and extra demands that come with the festive season, many parents may feel tired rather than refreshed as they head into the new year.

Our Early Parenting Centres support parent wellbeing alongside your child’s development, offering practical strategies for balancing care for your baby with care for yourself, emotional support and a calm, judgement-free space to share your experiences. Whether your parenting focus for the new year is more rest, more confidence, or simply feeling steadier each day, support is available when you’re ready.

Recently, at Mercy Hospital for Women, one of our long-term antenatal patients was going through a challenging time. Her pregnancy was high-risk, and she had just learned that her baby would need urgent care after birth. It was frightening, overwhelming, and full of uncertainty for her and her partner.

On the same day she was meant to celebrate her baby shower, one of our midwives found her in tears. Everything she had planned had suddenly changed.

Instead of letting the day pass quietly, our midwife and a few colleagues stepped in with kindness and care. They decorated a private space, organised baby shower games, and helped the couple invite friends and family to join them. What followed was a heartfelt celebration — a chance for this family to honour their pregnancy and baby, even though circumstances were far from what they had imagined.

The couple were incredibly grateful, and we couldn’t be prouder of our midwives for creating such a special memory. It’s stories like this that remind us what Mercy Health is all about — compassion, care, and treating every family as our own.

The festive spirit has been in full swing at Mercy Health, with colleagues from our Support Services office in Richmond visiting several of our residential aged care homes to help decorate for Christmas.

Alongside trimming trees and adding festive touches, some of our team also spent time with residents decorating and writing Christmas cards — a simple but meaningful way to share connection at this time of year.

Thank you to our staff who generously gave their time. At this time of year especially, these small acts of teamwork and kindness help create moments of joy and connection for the people in our care.

Our Werribee Mercy Health Paediatric team has been recognised with the Children’s Healthcare Australasia 2025 Local/Community Medal of Distinction for their incredible Working Together for Kids program.

By bringing paediatric care directly into three school Community Hubs across Wyndham, one of Melbourne’s fastest-growing and most culturally diverse regions, the team is breaking down barriers that often prevent vulnerable children from accessing care.

So far, the program has supported over 520 children and held over 1,700 appointments! “This is early intervention at its most effective,” says Dr Kathy McMahon. “Families trust their school, and that trust helps us build care that truly works.”
