Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

For many families, this day carries both grief and love. It is a time to remember babies gone too soon, while recognising the lasting impact they have on the lives of those who love them.

Together with Maddie, NICU Cheer founder and Mercy Health Ambassador, we're thinking of all families whose journeys include loss. As the mum of a rainbow baby, Maddie knows that sorrow and hope can exist side by side.

🕯 To every parent remembering a baby today: you are not alone.

💜 The votes are in, and one exciting idea for women’s health is taking its next step forward.

At our inaugural Giving Circle Showcase, members heard pitches for two innovative projects focused on improving women’s gynaecological health and before casting their votes for the inaugural Giving Circle Grant.

🎉 The winning project, Post-Menopausal Clinic, is a first-in-Australia nurse-led clinic trial designed to improve care for women experiencing post-menopausal bleeding.

It was an evening of inspiring ideas, meaningful connections and the power of collective giving in action.

Thank you to our Giving Circle members for helping turn promising healthcare innovations into real impact for women. 💜

This Blue Ribbon Day, Mercy Health Foundation proudly stands alongside the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation to honour and remember Victoria Police members who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

We are deeply grateful for our long-standing partnership and the generosity shown to Mercy Health Foundation over many years. Together, we have helped make a meaningful difference for patients, families and communities across Victoria.

Today, we pause to reflect, remember and honour the service and sacrifice of those who gave their lives in the line of duty.

For more than 25 years, Blue Ribbon Day has brought the community together to remember Victoria Police members who have died in the line of duty.

This year Blue Ribbon Day is coming on Tuesday 29 September, and we continue to remember the 178 members of Victoria Police whose lives were lost while serving our community. We can show our support for Victoria Police members by wearing a blue ribbon or a blue ribbon badge.

Through the generosity of supporters, the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation turns remembrance into action, funding life-saving medical facilities and equipment in public hospitals across Victoria in memory of our fallen members.

Your support can help us continue this important work. Donations to the 2026 Blue Ribbon Day Appeal will help the Blue Ribbon Foundation continue its initiatives.
