Ultimate Take Fiver

Hana Sayers, Midwife ACT

I am deeply honoured to be recognised by my colleagues through the Health Professionals Bank Take Five Initiative. 💙

Midwifery is a profession rooted in giving—of time, care, and presence—often during hours that don’t align with family life. The unpredictable shifts, physical and emotional demands can make something as simple as preparing a family meal feel out of reach.

That’s why this recognition, paired with the thoughtful gesture of dinner services, means so much. It will give me back time—time to nourish and connect with my family. Thank you to my incredibly generous and kind team for the nomination. We’ve achieved magical things together. 💙

Quote from the top nominator

“Emily is the kind of colleague who will brighten everyone's day, she is the first person to notice and compliment you on your new haircut and there rolling up her sleeves to assist before you've even asked for help. Her smile is almost as infectious as some of her patients!

Clare Lavery, Nurse, NSW
