Innovative donations to Nepean Hospital

Recently, Trevor from KidsWest visited Nepean Hospital's Birthing Unit to present two innovative donations:
Connex Spot Monitor: This advanced observation tool enhances productivity and patient outcomes by capturing a complete set of vital signs in less than a minute. Its digital capabilities allow for more patient interaction and eliminate the need for manual data entry.
Special Birthing Rope: For mothers who prefer to give birth in an upright position, this birthing rope represents a pioneering step in
public hospitals. (We welcome any corrections if we're mistaken!)
These donations, while perhaps small in scale, have the potential to significantly impact the lives of patients and their families.

A proud moment for Kidswest Australia!
We are thrilled to announce that
Kidswest Australia has been recognised as a Life Benefactor by the Millennium Foundation, a testament to our unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of children. From 2000 to 2005, we proudly donated $1M, playing a pivotal role in raising the necessary funds to build the new institute.
Today, we are honoured to have a room/lab named after Kidswest, a lasting symbol of our dedication to making a di erence.
The institute itself is a major medical research hub, a working home for 600 of Australia’s best scientists working to resolve some of the most serious diseases of our time. The innovative building takes on a new approach of
collaboration across disciplines While also ‘seeing the science’ in an industry that for operational reasons is usually secured away.
This recognition isn't just about what we’ve accomplished—it's a call to action for our community. Together, we can continue to create meaningful change. Let’s keep the momentum going and inspire others to contribute to causes that matter.
We are deeply humbled by this honour and are optimistic about the future. The road ahead is filled with opportunities to impact more lives, and we’re excited to continue our journey with you by our side.
Let’s make a di erence, one step at a time.
Panda Warmer donation - Campbelltown Hospital
Kidswest Australia had the privilege of handing over a crucial new piece of equipment to the incredible team at @CampbelltownHospital — a Panda Warmer valued at over $34,000! This cutting-edge device will be instrumental in supporting newborns immediately after birth, providing the warmth needed while allowing the paediatric team to carefully assess and evaluate each baby.
We were joined by Grand Isedale, General Manager of a @CampbelltownHospital, @ and the amazing sta from Birthing Unit to celebrate this important milestone. The Panda Warmer will help ensure that babies receive the best care possible right from their very first moments of life.
A big thank you to everyone involved, especially the dedicated healthcare professionals who continue
to make such a positive impact on the lives of families in our community!
Let’s keep the momentum going as we work together to support essential services and equipment for our hospitals.
