What impact has been made with 2025 fundraising?

What a fantastic achievement!

• Specialised Neonatal Ambulance (Royal Brisbane Women’s & NeoRESQ, QLD): A fully equipped emergency vehicle designed to safely transport critically ill or premature babies from regional areas to specialist hospitals, and home again when they are ready.
  
  
• SERVO-n NAVA Ventilator (Nepean, NSW): A high-tech breathing machine that adjusts automatically to a premature baby’s own breathing efforts, giving gentle and more accurate respiratory support, and helping save the lives of the tiniest babies with the sickest lungs.
  
  
• BabyLeo TN500 Incubator (Box Hill, VIC): A state-of-the-art humidicrib that keeps fragile premature babies warm and safe, with constant monitoring of temperature, humidity, and oxygen. 
  
  
• High-Intensity Phototherapy Unit (Lyell McEwin, SA): Jaundice is very commom in premature babies. This machine treats newborn jaundice effectively using special therapeutic light, helping babies process excess bilirubin safely.
  
  
• Viva Aluminium Cart (Launceston, TAS): A mobile equipment workstation used by neonatal teams to perform procedures quickly and safely.
  
  
• Hamilton MR1 Ventilator (Fiona Stanley, WA): A transport-capable ventilator that supports babies during transfers or emergency treatments, even in challenging environments.
  
  
• GlideScope (Redland, QLD): A specialised video laryngoscope used to help medical teams safely insert breathing tubes in sick and premature babies.
  
  
• TCOM Transcutaneous Monitor (Canberra, ACT): Monitors oxygen and carbon dioxide levels through the baby’s skin, and so removing the need for taking blood, and significantly reducing stress on the sick and premature babies.
  
  
• Giraffe PT Light Meter (Wagga Wagga, NSW): Measures the accuracy and intensity of phototherapy light to ensure jaundice treatment is safe and effective.

• Micro Preemie Simulation Models (x2) (Tennant Creek, NT): Highly realistic training dolls used to train healthcare workers in emergency care for extremely premature babies. Tennant Creek is one of Australia's most remote hospitals, being situated 1000km south of Darwin and 500km north or Alice Springs. While this hospital doesn't have a dedicated Maternity Unit, they deliver approximately 36 babies a year, often prematurely, and staff need training to care for these babies until the Royal Flying Doctor Service arrives to transfer them for Neonatal Care.

• ANZ Neonatal Retrieval Network Research Project: We are proud to be supporting a vital research project led by the ANZ Neonatal Retrieval Network (ANZNRN), dedicated to improving the care of some of the tiniest and most vulnerable babies in our community. Each year, more than 6,000 newborns across Australia and New Zealand must be urgently transferred from regional hospitals to specialist centres for Neonatal Intensive Care. Many of these babies are born far too early, and their journey begins with greater risks simply because they were born away from specialised care.
  By supporting this project, we are helping give these babies the stronger start they deserve, and offering their families hope during one of the most frightening moments of their lives. We are honoured to support a project giving these newborns the best possible chance of survival.
