This is a special mini series featuring this year’s AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award Victorian finalists. 

Sarah is a paediatric critical care nurse at the Royal Children’s Hospital and has cared for many critically injured children and those with complex medical needs whose parents navigate the medical world from home every single day. Many of these children reside in regional and rural Australia. 

As a rural mum of four, Sarah knows too well the difficulties that rural families have in accessing specialised paediatric care and it is her mission to bridge this gap to provide paediatric carer training and education to carers and parents of children regardless of their postcode. 

Through her company PAEDS Education, Sarah is driven to reach the “unreachable” through hybrid and online training. She hopes this increased access to specialised training will improve support, reduce the burden of care, and improve the outcomes of children and their community.

Sarah tells us why she applied for the award, what she has learned about herself in the process and the importance of her project.

Let me introduce you to my friend and AgriFutures 2023 Rural Women’s Award Victorian Finalist Sarah Duncanson.
