It's always a pleasure to see our children thrive!

Just over a year ago, Rochelle and Jesse Ramien were in Bali for a friend's wedding when Rochelle unexpectedly went into labour - eight weeks early. And a short time later, little Teo was flown home with the Newborn and Paediatric Emergency Transport Service.

Now Teo is a bright and bubbly toddler and, along with mum Rochelle and big brother Tallen, popped in to say hello to the NETS team.

"It's a bit surreal coming back and seeing all the cribs and cords, but I'm super grateful we could come and just visit," Rochelle said.

Deputy Director of NETS NSW Kathryn Carmo said being reunited with the families they help is very special.

"Seeing what a difference a year makes is incredible. I still remember the relief they felt when we picked them up from Bali and brought them home. Now, everyone, Mum, Teo and big brother Tallen are all so full of life - it's beautiful!"

NETS helps transport more than 1,000 premature babies each year and this week, on World Prematurity Day, the dedicated NETS team took a moment to remember all of the children and families we have helped support.

From the very start of their neonatal intensive care journey, the NETS team is committed to providing the high quality care each baby needs.

We acknowledge the strength and resilience of all the babies, families and carers in what is a difficult and often scary time.

Kiera and Jack share more than just the same parents. Both had a bit of bumpy start to life and needed some extra help from some health heroes.

Kiera, who was born prematurely at 32 weeks, spent four days in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) before being transferred by the NETS team to Hurstville Private Hospital.

Mum Jessica said it was an overwhelming and scary time, but she'll never forget the NETS staff who transferred Kiera.

"They were so lovely, kind, gave me information that was extremely helpful, and made a scary process a whole lot better."

Three years on, Kiera's brother Jack was also born early and the NETS team returned. After spending hours stabilising him, they transferred him to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.

"I felt so relieved knowing he was in good hands."

"Kiera is now a thriving three year old, and Jack a thriving 6-month old. My family and I are so grateful for the NETS team and for supporting us in what was a very stressful time."

Best ever representation at Aeromed25 by NETS staff. Everyone had a great time; as well as exchanging ideas and experience. Aeromedical Society of Australasia next year in Darwini will no doubt be very attractive

Great to be in Hobart at Aeromedical Society of Australasia conference with presentations by Andrew Berry on the history of ASA on day 1, Trevor Ho on The Journey to CAMTS accreditation, Amanda Maroon & Amber Seigal on Incorporating human factors in simulation training in multidisciplinary orientation training (Kaye Melmeth Oration) and Ruth Irwin on The Dynamic Role of Nurse Practitioners in Neonatal & Paediatric Retrieval on day 2

Nine year old Finn needed a quick transfer from Canberra Hospital to when doctors discovered severe blood clots in his veins.

Feeling sick for days, Finn was worried the helicopter ride with NETS and Toll Ambulance Rescue would make things worse, but thanks to the incredible team, his transfer didn’t just lift him, it lifted his spirits too.

"It was our first time with NETS and I was really appreciative of the way they made sure Finn felt comfortable,” Finn’s mum Briana said.

“The team took their time to explain the process and equipment to Finn and answer any questions he had, making the helicopter ride an educational and interactive experience."
