OCTOBER 2025
EDITION 40
Gathering of Kindness Week 2025 NSW Health’s Gathering of Kindness 2025 will take place from 10 to 16 November , aligning with World Kindness Day on 13 November. This year’s theme, “One care, many voices – because kindness lives here,” invites us to listen deeply and reflect on how kindness is expressed - in conversations at the bedside, in everyday teamwork, in courageous leadership, and in quiet moments of care. Across the week, Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD) will mark the occasion with a range of activities across its facilities, including: Kindness-themed stalls in hospital foyers Artworks and kindness cards The continuation of 160 Tales of Kindness , a concept started at Prince of Wales Hospital and now in its third year at NSLHD. Use the Compliment Portal to send a Tale of Kindness to a colleague, encouraging reflection on acts of kindness in the workplace.
🎥 Be sure to watch the new Small Acts of Kindness videos, featuring real-life stories from NSW Health staff, volunteers, patients, and families—showing how even the smallest gestures can make a big impact.
Let’s celebrate the voices that shape our care and the kindness that lives in all of us.
