FEATURES FROM THE FRONTLINE
Our hardworking and dedicated healthcare workers define what it means to really care. We’ve created Features from the Frontline as a platform for these passionate professionals to share their unique stories with you, in their own words.
This inspiring series showcases interviews with healthcare workers from right around Australia and acknowledges the incredible contribution they make to our community. While their roles and responsibilities may vary, a shared commitment to caring for those at their most vulnerable draws them together. Discover their heart warming stories below.
In celebration of World Health Worker Week, NNT is proud to present a very special edition of Features from the Frontline. Join influential faces from across the industry as they share their journeys, challenges and words of wisdom with you.

Alex Lyons
Meet Alex; she grew up in Chile and pursued a path in linguistics and languages, but she always felt a gravitational pull toward a career in healthcare. Fast forward to the present, and Alex has established a successful career in nursing. Currently, she works in the acute medical ward after serving in the emergency department throughout the pandemic. In her challenging role, Alex embodies raw positive energy.
Kaday Kamara
Meet Kaday, a year on from the pandemic, she truly understands the meaning of the phrase "you can't pour from an empty cup." As a mental health clinician facing the challenges during and after the pandemic, she has recognized the importance of nurturing mental fitness for both her patients and herself.
Chris Eldridge
Meet Chris, he has a deep understanding of human pathophysiology when it comes to the mind, body, and nutrition. As a registered dietitian with years of experience in the field, he has successfully curated numerous holistic plans for his clients. These plans have helped a diverse range of individuals, from medal-winning Australian Olympians to children who require external feeding support.
Steph Bligh
Meet Steph, who was born into a lineage of registered nurses, but was determined not to follow the same path as her family. However, a turning point came when she worked for a community nursing organisation, which inspired her journey to become a registered nurse herself. Now, her life revolves around her nursing career as well as her family. She also pursues her passions as a fitness guru and a health and lifestyle content creator.
Ella Farnell
Meet Ella. Although she resisted the idea of pursuing a career in nursing, she eventually found that her calling lay in the healthcare field, just like her family of nurses. She started working in the emergency department and was inspired by the strength and knowledge of the healthcare professionals around her. Now, she is studying to become one of Australia’s top nurses and has never looked back.
Heart-warming and uplifting, these are the stories that so often remain untold, but are truly important to recognise and celebrate their individual journeys, their challenges and motivation, and the words of wisdom they carry with them, whenever they go to work.
