We are very proud to celebrate Mel Schubert from Monash Newborn – NEST, who has been awarded the Neonatal Nurse Family Appreciation Award by the Australian College of Neonatal Nurses (ACNN).
This annual award recognises a neonatal nurse who has delivered exceptional care and support to families and their infants during their time in a neonatal unit. Nominated directly by families, the accolade highlights exemplary compassionate and family-centred care. This year, Mel was selected from 30 nominations submitted by families Australia-wide. t or the key announcement. This sets up your story before the main body content (2-4 sentences).
In a fitting tribute, the award was presented on World Prematurity Day, November 17th, a day dedicated to generating awareness of the challenges faced by premature babies and honouring the work of neonatal teams across the world. Mel said receiving the award was deeply meaningful.
“This is the reason we do what we do,” she said. “To know that a family felt so supported means so much.”
We congratulate Mel on this national achievement and celebrate the dedication she brings to the Monash Newborn team and the families she supports every day.
