We're proud to step into this year’s AONA National Conference – held at the Melbourne Convention Centre on 15 November – as a Bronze Sponsor.

We’re excited to support the Australian Ophthalmic Nurses Association - AONA and look forward to connecting with like-minded professionals this weekend.

It’s a fitting moment to celebrate, with this week marking Perioperative Nurses Week – the perfect time to recognise the exceptional care, skill and compassion they bring to every patient and procedure.

Our nurses play a vital role in each patient’s journey – from pre-admission and surgery through to recovery and discharge – ensuring every step runs seamlessly. They also support our surgeons across a range of disciplines, anticipating needs with calm precision and care.

To our incredible nursing team: thank you for the expertise, dedication and heart you bring to our hospitals every day. Your impact is truly extraordinary.

A heartfelt thank you to all the carers – we see you! 👀

This National Carers Week, we recognise the incredible contribution of those who provide vital care and support to others, whether as part of their profession or in an unpaid role for family members and friends.

From accompanying patients to surgery and waiting patiently during their procedure, to providing transport home, preparing meals, or offering comfort and reassurance during recovery, carers play an essential role in every patient’s surgical journey.

You can support carers by visiting Carers Australia or: https://carersweek.com.au/
