Bendigo West MP Maree Edwards has officially opened Bendigo Health’s purpose-built children’s rehabilitation play space, designed to enhance therapy and make rehabilitation more enjoyable for young patients.

The $740,000 project was made possible through the support of the Good Friday Appeal, local businesses, community groups and philanthropic organisations.

“Our community has a great sense of pride and ownership in our health service, which is reflected in the years of sustained fundraising efforts for this play space. We extend our thanks to them, and to the Good Friday Appeal, for their continued support,” said Bendigo Health CEO Eileen Hannagan.

The all-abilities space will have a lasting impact on children and families across our region, providing a safe and engaging environment where therapy and play come together.

We all go through tough times. Sometimes it’s a rough day, sometimes it’s a tough month. And often, it doesn’t take much to help, just a small sign that someone cares.

Asking someone if they are OK can mean more than we realise and should be part of how we look after each other, today on R U OK? Day and any day of the year.

Caring for people is what we do at Bendigo Health, but it’s not just about our patients. It’s about being there for each other too. We’re all human and none of us are immune to the ups and downs of life. Sometimes, knowing that someone notices and cares is enough to help us keep going.
