A 40-year legacy at Nepean Hospital
At the 2024 Together Nepean award ceremony, we recognised a true Nepean legend – Elaine Munro, Administration Clerk in Cardiology, who has recently marked an incredible 40 years of service.
Elaine’s journey began in the 1980s when, after raising two sons, she decided to re-enter the workforce. A quick phone call to Nepean Hospital was all it took to launch her career.
Starting with a casual role at the front reception, Elaine was soon immersed in the manual, paper-heavy systems of the time, and she quickly became an invaluable part of the team.
While much has changed since then—computers replaced paper files, and mobile phones have made communication easier—one thing has remained the same: Elaine’s passion for her work and the people around her.
She fondly recalls the lovely people she’s worked with over the years and describes Nepean as a place that’s “been very good to me.”
Outside of work, Elaine keeps busy with dancing at local clubs and staying active.
Her advice to those starting out in their careers?
“Enjoy it and keep happy.”
With her sharp mind, infectious laugh, and dedication, Elaine has truly been a cornerstone of the Nepean community. Here's to 40 years and many more!
