On Remembrance Day, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of all who have served our country. At 11am, we hold a moment of silence, remembering those who have fallen and showing gratitude for those who have served and continue to serve. We recognise their bravery and legacy of freedom and peace they have gifted us. Lest we forget.

One of the highlights of Queensland Mental Health Week this year was a visit from therapy dogs Pikelet and Beau on Friday. Our patients had a lovely morning of cuddles in the courtyard. Thank you to Jess and Tracy for bringing your fur-babies to visit us!

We also had a tropical themed dress up day which brought a lot of brightness and joy to the hospital 🌺
