International Women’s Day is a great opportunity to celebrate women’s achievements, and their contribution to our operations at NPT.

This year, we were able to share the stories of two of these women, alongside the stories of women working across other areas of the ComfotDelGro business.

You can read all of their stories at: comfortdelgro.com.au/international-womens-day.

Sarah Hunt

Critical Care Registered Nurse

What do you enjoy about your role?

I enjoy the variety of the work I do for National Patient Transport. I enjoy driving to different places, looking after different patients. I enjoy the one-on-one nature of the role and being able to listen to the patient’s stories. I also enjoy working with a new team member every day and just generally being out on
the road.

What is rewarding about it?

When a patient has been in the hospital for 36 days and you get to be the one to take them home, out into the fresh air for the first time in a long time, to be able to be part of making that moment happen, is rewarding.

What attracted you to the company?

I was attracted to work for NPT by the idea of being out on the road and being able to experience nursing from a different perspective.

Kim Petrou

General Manager Business Development

What do you enjoy about your role?

I enjoy providing the very best service to customers and patients and looking for new opportunities.

What is rewarding about it?

Working with the Operations Centre to improve customer satisfaction and retain contracts is extremely rewarding. Further development of innovative services and growing the business continue to motivate me on a daily basis.

What attracted you to the company?

When I started at National Patient Transport in 2005, I came on board for three months to help it retain a highly valued contract and to help with the recruitment of a business development manager. That was over 16 years ago, and I am still here. The work is challenging, health-related and there is never a dull moment.
