CAMPBELLTOWN AND CAMDEN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

It is with great pride that we saw the NoWEM founders come together at Campbelltown and commence Australia’s first Emergency Women’s Network. Campbelltown Emergency is a thriving department that is meeting the demand of an enormous and growing population in South West Sydney. We are committed to the ideas of best practice and providing for the special needs of the incredibly diverse patient group that attends our department.

Boyd Migration and Legal
Boyd Migration & Legal is a Sydney-based law firm. We practise Australian immigration law. We specialise in helping businesses and individuals with Australian visa applications (including skilled, business and family) and other complex Australian immigration processes. We also practise in professional negligence and contractual disputes, and have a network of trusted partners in commercial, property and family law. We believe ventures such as NoWEM are critical to attain sustainable and significant improvements in the unacceptably low levels of women in leadership.
Experien Insurance Services
Experien Insurance Services helps hundreds of female doctors with their life and disability insurance and medical indemnity insurance - as their insurance broker. We were one of the first to note that in Australia, women did not seem to enjoy lower medical indemnity insurance premiums, yet it is known they have a lower risk of claim. So we pushed hard for this and now see that insurers such as Tego and others are now giving discounts to women. Whether its for this, for female specific trauma insurance claims, or for events like this, we are proud to support women in medicine and recognise the important role they play in this sector.

The Australian Institute of Ultrasound (AIU) is proud to be sponsoring NOWEM. For over 20 years AIU has been Australia’s premier ultrasound training institute providing hands on practical training in a caring and supportive environment.
