Two Ramsay finalists recognised in national nursing and midwifery awards

April 15, 2021

Ramsay Health Care Australia’s commitment to creating a cleaner, greener planet has been applauded with the company named as a finalist in the 2021 HESTA Australia Nursing and Midwifery Awards.

An independent judging panel reviewed hundreds of nominations to select finalists across three categories: Nurse of the Year, Midwife of the Year and Outstanding Organisation. Nine finalists were chosen across these categories for their important contributions to the health care sector. 

Ramsay Health Care Australia has been recognised in two of these categories: Outstanding Organisation and Midwife of the Year. 

In the Outstanding Organisation group, Ramsay was named as one of three finalists for its work to improve environmental sustainability across its facilities, including through cutting greenhouse gas emissions and single-use plastics. 

The judges were impressed by Ramsay’s exceptional recycling figures in 2020, including 39% of general waste and 98% of its unwanted IT assets. 

Ramsay’s second finalist is Melanie Boulter from John Flynn Private Hospital, who has been honoured in the Midwife of the Year category. 

Ms Boulter has been recognised for giving exceptional care to families for more than 20 years at John Flynn Private Hospital on the Gold Coast. During that time, Melanie helped to create the hospital’s Know My Midwife program. 

The judges were impressed by Melanie’s passion for post-natal support, her willingness to help medical and midwifery students, and her determination to support families after discharge, particularly during the COVID pandemic. 

The winners of the HESTA Australia Nursing and Midwifery Awards will be revealed on 6 May in Melbourne.
