S1E6 Around 29:00 a man squeezes his girlfriend's hand violently. I'm including this because later (S1E8) we find out that he apparently has a history of domestic abuse. We don't see him in the other seasons anymore. S2E1 someone implies that they are at risk of experiencing domestic violence by their father. They are shown injured and in a distressed state, but it is not clear what caused the injury (they tell a reason but they might be lying). Until the end of S2E8, the father is frequently seen on camera (not in any domestic violence scenes, though). S2E7 around 30:00 someone talks about their abusive childhood. S3E5 ~25:00 this is not domestic violence, however the scene is scary. An unfamiliar man attacks a woman. In season 4 we follow the story of a girl whose brother keeps behaving in a possessive way towards her, to the point that she needs protection from him. S4E6 32:00-37:00 a teenager describes in detail being assaulted by their stepfather. Afterwards they are comforted by others. Before this around 30:00 her mother gaslighted her about the trauma.

S1E1 A mother is told her baby is dead. It is promptly revealed to the viewer that it is not the case, however the mother does not get to know until a later episode. In S1E4 someone mentions that they used to have a baby who died soon after birth (mentioned also in S2E3). S2E3 a stillbirth. S4E4 a baby falls ill and dies. Until the end of the season, this baby remains a major plot point.

S1E8 There's a plot point that includes a baby's biological mother kidnapping the baby from its adoptive family. The baby had been illegally adopted and the mother was trying to get it back. S2E5 a baby is thought to be kidnapped when it disappears, however the baby is actually fine. Many adults are distressed when they notice the baby is lost. S2E7 around 34:00 someone talks about an incident where multiple children were kidnapped and taken into custody for racist reasons.

S1E3 a side character mentions they don't like the hospital (among other things) because a (mixed?) aboriginal girl lives there. S1E8 Another similar comment around 22:00. In some episode (in S1) the girl mentions some racist comment that was said about her parents. S3E3 at the party some sexist and racist comments are made about her, however the speaker receives instant karma.
All in all, the aboriginal girl seems to be a liked person in the hospital, however there is occasional racism as mentioned. She is a main character and her backstory might be upsetting to someone (something happened because of racist reasons. This is discussed in S2E7.)
S4E1 A character uses a racist name when speaking about two Italian characters. S4E4 ~9:00 someone with a darker skin tone is called names. S4E9, S4E10 An italian person is called names.
