Support to those affected by the bushfires

On behalf of the membership the National Enrolled Nurse Association of Australia (NENA) Executive wishes to offer our deepest sympathy to all those effected by the catastrophic bushfires. The incredible loss of life and property has shocked the nation.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those including our nursing and allied colleagues, their families, friends and communities as they deal with the horrendous situation.

We must pay tribute to all the emergency services, particularly the volunteers many of whom are nurses, who have given of their time and energy in the community’s time of need.  

To date many messages of condolence and support have been received from across our great nation as well as internationally.

Thanks must go to all those who have pledged money and donated goods to those who have lost everything.

Further messages can be forwarded to info@nena.org.au and will be placed on the NENA web site.
