Today, we say a heartfelt farewell to a wonderful member of our Canberra Hospital Foundation team, Amy Agius, who has contributed to our collaborative success for the past seven years! 👏 If you’ve ever fundraised with us, called our team, donated in-kind gifts, or supported one of our fundraising events and campaigns, chances are you’ve connected with Amy. From starting as our Administration Officer to growing into her current role as Operations and Funding Manager, Amy’s journey at CHF has been nothing short of incredible. Amy’s connection to CHF spans years before she joined our team. Her personal experience at Canberra Hospital shaped her career path in ways she never expected. When her eldest son Xavier was born, he spent just under 100 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). During that time, Amy saw firsthand the power of the generosity of our donors. From equipment like the Medela Symphony Hospital Grade Electric Breast Pump to the smallest yet most meaningful touches, like handcrafted comfort items donated by the community. These contributions, alongside the work of the dedicated healthcare teams, made an incredibly difficult time just a little easier for her family. Years later, when Amy came across a role at CHF, she knew she had to apply. She was driven by a passion for giving back and helping others experience the same support that meant so much to her. And that’s exactly what she’s done. Amy has worked alongside hundreds of Canberra Health Services staff and community members, helped grow CHF with innovation and a solutions-driven mindset, and, most importantly, led with immense heart. Amy, we cannot thank you enough for your dedication, kindness, and impact. You have made a difference, and we know that whatever comes next for you will be just as extraordinary. Please join us in celebrating Amy and wishing her all the best in her next exciting chapter! 💙✨
