We are so grateful to the amazing students and staff at St Kieran's Catholic Primary School, Moe for their incredible generosity! 💙
The kids raised funds and purchased toys to donate to local children in the Moe-Newborough area. And thanks to their kindness, the surplus toys have been gifted to children receiving care in our Timbarra Paediatric Unit this festive season. Wow!
The school says it is an honour to help their community.
Well St Kieran's, your thoughtfulness will bring so much joy to our young patients and their families. Thank you for making a difference and Merry Christmas to you all! 🎅🏼🎄

Thank you to everyone who joined us for 'Sneak Peek Week' at the LRH Community Op Shop. We loved hearing your feedback and seeing the excitement for what's to come.
Special shout-out to our Community Champions volunteers who gave up countless hours to get the shop up and running - and at a time when they have their own shopping to do!
We're now closed for the festive season and will reopen in 2026. Until then, we wish you and your friends and family happiness and good health for the days and months ahead.
Your support means the world to us. Stay tuned for more updates in the new year. If you'd like to join our Op Shop volunteer team in 2026, email fundraising@lrh.com.au

🤢🤮Oh dear! There is nothing worse than feeling crook while others are partying because we ate something that "didn't agree with us".

🎁🎄We are in the midst of gearing up for our Chrissy feasts as well as enjoying summer parties and picnics.

Here are some simple tips on how NOT to let food poisoning ruin our celebrations.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a Heatwave Warning https://www.bom.gov.au/warning/heatwave-warning/IDV21013 that includes East Gippsland, West and South Gippsland forecast districts.

Heatwave conditions in Gippsland peak on Friday and Saturday.

Check out https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/extreme-heat for tips on protecting yourself and others.

I cannot believe a movie still gets this much airtime. I get it, Hugh Grant is on a few people's Christmas wish list. Personally, I haven’t seen it, but I’ve heard enough about it in the last week that sharing a Love Actually meme has turned into a KPI. Before you call me the grinch, I did look into it…

Take a bow generous people. Thanks to your donations to our surgical laser appeal, we've hit the $200,000 mark!! We are inching closer to being able to bring this technology to Gippsland to help people who have painful kidney stones or an enlarged prostate.
So many of you have given a gift that will heal and there's still time to double your donation. If you donate in December, the wonderful Collier Charitable Trust will double your donation. For example, your $50 magically turns into $100.
Ta-daaaaaaaa.
Good time to donate folks! Go here please https://lrh-christmas-appeal-2025.raiselysite.com/
Thanks so much!
