We had a great time visiting the Austal shipyard in Henderson on Wednesday to celebrate 13 years of workplace giving. The company matches every dollar donated by the staff meaning more than $250,000 has been raised for life impacting medical research since 2006. This is an incredible example of the value of workplace giving programs and we know how lucky we are to be supported by these generous people and their company. Thanks again team Austal!

Our CEO Dana was so pleased to pop into Neonatology at Fiona Stanley Hospital this week and chat with nurse Sadhana. Sometimes our littlest patients face some of the biggest risks such as this beautiful little boy who was born at 26 weeks gestation, weighing just 550g, because his mother was so critically unwell. Now, at 35 weeks, this little champ weighs 2kg and is doing just fine, receiving lots of loving care from specialist nurse Sadhana. Mum is doing well too. Sadhana works with researcher, Neonatologist and Spinnaker friend Dr Shail Mehta. Thank you for all that you do Sadhana and Shail. You can read about Shail and his research at www.spinnakerhealth.org.au/our-impact/shails-story/ ... See more
