ANMF NT would like to send a huge and heartfelt thank you to every NT Health staff member working tirelessly during the current flood emergency.
Your dedication has been nothing short of extraordinary.
As floodwaters rose across the Katherine region, staff stepped up to safely evacuate patients from Katherine Hospital, including 21 patients transported to other NT facilities and up to 20 pregnant women evacuated as a precaution. Your calm leadership, rapid coordination, and compassion made all the difference during an uncertain and fast‑moving situation.
From organising air transfers, supporting high‑acuity patients, helping families stay informed, and maintaining emergency care options despite closures — you have shown what true commitment to community care looks like.
To every nurse, doctor, paramedic, allied health worker, admin staff member, logistics officer, cleaner, and support worker: thank you. Your efforts ensured that vulnerable patients were kept safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout the evacuation.
And as the flood response continues, your strength and teamwork keep the Territory going.
We see you. We appreciate you. And the NT is grateful. đź’™
