✨ Babies of The Royal ✨

Was your baby born at The Royal, transferred, or born at home under the care of our MGP Homebirth midwives? We’d love to see them 💜

Tag or use to share your fresh little love - we adore celebrating every new arrival in our community.

Every family also receives an incredibly cute (and very functional!) Love to Dream Swaddle Up as part of their Koala Pack 🐨 A small comfort for those very big first days. A big thank you to for gifting these to all our new families.

Celebrating every tiny beginning here at The Royal 💜

Meet one of our incredible volunteers ✨

One of the best parts of volunteering at The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation is the simple, human moments - the chats, the smiles, and the joy of welcoming new life into the world.

For Lucy, volunteering is all about connection. From meeting new mums and families on the ward to sharing stories and handing out our much-loved koalas, she says it’s the conversations that mean the most. “You get to have some very interesting conversations with people”.

Inspired by seeing the support her sister received after having premature twins, she was drawn to volunteering with women and families. “We’re strongest when we’re supported and part of a community,” she says - and that sense of community is exactly what she hopes to give back.

When asked how she’d describe the role to anyone thinking of getting involved, her answer says it all: “Someone once told me, you have the best job ever. You feel like Santa - giving out gifts, having conversations, and raising awareness for the charity. It’s just happy and joyful. You should definitely do it.”

We’re so grateful for the kindness, warmth and energy our volunteers bring into the hospital every day 💜

Thinking about volunteering with RHWF? We’d love to welcome you.

On World Cancer Day, we’re celebrating the incredible women who come through the doors of The Royal’s chemotherapy room - the only one of its kind in NSW dedicated to gynaecological cancers.

Designed with care, this space is filled with natural light, vibrant colour and comfortable chairs funded through generous donations - so women can feel supported, seen and held through treatment.

Here, women sit side by side, share stories, laugh together, and find strength in one another. We see resilience in every smile, every conversation, and every shared moment.

“I suggest to be as positive as you can, because it’s halfway to the recovery.” - Zsuzsanna

Thanks to the generosity of our community, you have helped create a space that improves not only the experience of treatment, but outcomes for women facing gynaecological cancer 💜

February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 💜

Ovarian cancer remains Australia’s most lethal gynaecological cancer.

This month, we're shining a light on ovarian cancer by sharing Stories of Strength - the journeys of women who have received, or are currently receiving, treatment at The Royal.

Each year, The Royal’s Gynaecology Oncology Unit cares for 2000 women, including those facing ovarian cancer.

Together, we can continue making progress. 💜

Your support funds vital research, advanced treatments, and compassionate care for women confronting ovarian cancer.

Donate today and help change outcomes for women.

For women, For better.

💜 Donor Impact in Action

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, recent donations have funded a Panda Resuscitaire, now actively used for staff training across our NICU and Birth Unit.

This vital piece of equipment allows our clinical teams to participate in realistic mock resuscitation sessions - strengthening skills, confidence and collaboration when it matters most.

“These sessions bring together our Junior Medical Officers and nursing staff, fostering strong multidisciplinary collaboration.

The Panda Resuscitaire has played a valuable role in enhancing hands-on learning, teamwork, and confidence in managing neonatal emergencies.”
- Dr Sarah Jane Tapawan, NICU CMO, Neonatal & Perinatal Medicine, The Royal Hospital for Women

The images captured here show our team in action during a mock resuscitation - a powerful reminder of how donor support directly contributes to ongoing staff education and improved patient care.

Thank you for your continued commitment to clinical excellence and for helping ensure the very best outcomes for babies and families at The Royal 💜

✨Meet Marilyn - one of our wonderful volunteers here at The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation 💜

Marilyn began volunteering with us four years ago at our Giving Day event, and she’s been part of the Foundation family ever since.

From supporting fundraising events to visiting the hospital each week to deliver Koala Packs to new mums and families, Marilyn’s generosity of time and spirit has touched countless lives.

As a mother of five and grandmother of eleven, she brings warmth, kindness and understanding to every visit - along with plenty of smiles.

“At the end of the day, it’s all about the care and bringing joy to new families.”

We currently have vacancies for new volunteers to join our weekly Koala Pack giving program.

If you’d like to support families during one of the most important moments of their lives and be part of something truly special, we’d love to hear from you 💫

Please reach out to learn more about volunteering with us: volunteer@royalwomen.org.au

Today we join our community in acknowledging the National Day of Mourning.

We stand in solidarity with the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives, and with our Jewish community, as we remember, reflect and come together in compassion.

As we honour the theme “Light will win”, we invite our community to pause this evening - observing a minute’s silence at 7:01pm, lighting a candle, or taking part in an act of kindness in remembrance. 🕯

A huge thank you to Phoenix FC for raising an incredible $3000 at their 40-year fundraiser and raffle! 💜

This is the 4th year Phoenix FC has supported The Royal Hospital for Women, starting in 2022 with their annual Ladies Day. Over the years, through Ladies Days, charity events, and their 40th anniversary, they’ve helped raise a total of $16,250 for our hospital.

Your generosity makes a real difference for women and families at The Royal, and we’re so grateful for your ongoing support and community spirit.

💜 At The Royal, it’s these moments of connection, trust and compassion between a midwife and a mother that stay with families long after birth.

If you recently welcomed your baby at The Royal Hospital for Women and would like to say thank you to a midwife, nurse or doctor who provided exceptional care, there is a meaningful way to do so.

Through our Grateful Patients program, you can leave a personal message of thanks alongside a donation in honour of:
✨ an individual staff member
✨ a team
✨ or a ward that supported you

Your gift not only recognises the people who made a difference in your journey - it also helps support vital care, services and research for women and babies.

Leave your message of gratitude via our Grateful Patients page. www.royalwomen.org.au/gratefulpatients

Behind each of these numbers is a family supported, a baby welcomed, and care provided by our dedicated hospital teams.

Thank you to our community of donors and supporters for being part of this journey 💜
