Today is International Women’s Day, and we’re recognising the foundational role women have played in our organisation, from its beginnings to the present.

Our residents' Christmas celebrations were nothing short of extraordinary day. The Lifestyle and Hospitality team went to great lengths to prepare the afternoon, offering an array of scrumptious canapés and engaging entertainment from our duo Golden Girls. The highlight of the day was a special appearance by Rob Mills, who sang Christmas songs with his mother Bronwyn. To top it all off, Santa paid us a visit, bringing joy and gifts to our residents. It was truly a day to remember.

On this day in 1926 we opened Melbourne’s first after care home to provide transitional care for people of all ages after a hospital stay. MDNS President Jessie Henderson described the hospital as “a new expression of an old need”. Today, we’re still finding new ways to meet community needs, from our parenting, birth and baby telephone helpline to telehealth, home and community support and in our retirement villages and aged care homes.
