Kindness lives in Queanbeyan in new video
Kindness lives here at NSW Health. It lives in our decisions and actions, and in the way we care for one another, whether it’s a gentle word, a thoughtful gesture, or a moment of compassion during someone’s hardest day. We’re proud that Queanbeyan is featured in the newest chapter of Small Acts of Kindness, a statewide campaign that celebrates the quiet, powerful moments of humanity happening every day in our health services.
Originally launched 10 years ago, the Small Acts of Kindness campaign was created to recognise and thank NSW Health staff for the meaningful, often unseen acts that make a lasting difference. A decade later, kindness remains at the heart of who we are and what we do.

The new campaign highlights stories from across NSW, including a moving video from Queanbeyan Maternity Unit. Jana, a local mum, shares how the kindness of the team and Dr Amy Daly helped her through a difficult pregnancy - and the story includes one very special surprise just before baby Margot’s arrival.
Will Cordukes and Jack Rubinstein from creative agency Laundry Lane spent the day on-site at Queanbeyan Hospital, capturing the warmth, emotion and everyday magic that defines the team.
Kindness, Jana says, made all the difference. And for the Queanbeyan team, it’s more than a value - it’s a way of working, every single day.
The campaign was officially launched in May by NSW Health Secretary Susan Pearce AM, with Jana, baby Margot and Dr Daly joining Southern’s Chief Executive Margaret Bennett to reflect on what kindness means at Southern.
