Lifetime of devotion for Shirley

Enrolled nurse Shirley Summerhayes was recently recognised for her 45 years of service to the Stawell Hospital and MacPherson Smith Residential Care. What makes this even more remarkable, Shirley had already nursed across three states of Australia before she settled in the gold mining hub of the Wimmera.

Shirley said she absolutely loved going to work every day and socialising with her colleagues and the residents.

“I don’t have any immediate thoughts of retirement but I guess it will have to happen eventually,” Shirley said.

Grampians Health Chief Operations Officer Ben Kelly spoke at the award ceremony and congratulated Shirley and acknowledged her undeniable dedication to nursing and to those for whom she cares.

Parenting is a journey — and you don’t have to do it alone. 💛

Our Togetherness Groups — Understanding Your Baby and Understanding Your Child —officially commenced this month.

These groups bring families together to connect, share, and support one another in a welcoming space.

Designed to strengthen emotional wellbeing and confidence, the Togetherness model helps parents and carers better understand behaviour as communication, while learning through guided conversations and shared experiences.

All Early Parenting Centre staff are trained in this evidence-based approach — with more to come as we continue embracing the Togetherness model across our campuses.

Big news worth celebrating – the Grampians Early Parenting Centre has now supported over 1,000 families since opening in 2024, and we couldn’t be prouder!

Based in Ballarat, the centre supports families right across the region with sleep, settling, behaviour and early parenting challenges. The team has welcomed parents into residential stays and day programs, and supported families through phone consults and specialised education. The centre is a free service, with staff using the most up-to-date evidence-based information to support families.

Nurse Unit Manager Vikki Doddamani says the service continues to evolve as families’ needs change. “We know that many families face barriers such as travel distance, isolation, larger family sizes and rising fuel costs,” she said. “Our vision is to meet families where they are. That’s why expanding into outreach will be a major focus for us from this year onwards, so even if parents cannot get to us, we can bring support to their homes and communities.”

Parents can self-refer anytime by visiting our website and completing the online referral form at www.gh.org.au/epc

Ahead of International Nurses Day (May 12), we’re celebrating the many ways nurses and midwives strengthen patient care through research. Meet Karina and Jess, two of our Nursing and Midwifery Research Assistants at Grampians Health who help bring research to life, improving care for our patients.

By developing structured research, supporting ethics submissions, coordinating data collection, analysing results and helping share findings, they turn everyday clinical questions into evidence with practical outcomes embedded into day-to-day clinical practice, improving care across our services.

For Karina and Jess, the most rewarding part of their role is seeing ideas grow into real improvements for patients, providing better, culturally safe, equitable health care for the community.

Thank you to all our nurses involved in research, leading change and improving care for our patients and communities, now and into the future.
