Specialist Nurse
Calvary Home Care Adelaide Service Centre

Annette Goudy has worked for Calvary Home Care for nearly seven years as a community nurse providing both home and acute care support to a range of clients throughout metropolitan Adelaide.

Ms Goudy won the Mary Potter Award for Healing in South Australia two years ago. According to Ms Goudy she is simply just doing her job.

 Community nursing is a privilege as you are able to care for people in their own home,” she said. 

“My aim is to make people feel comfortable and cared for. Home nursing extends from acute nursing to chronic, assessments, preventative care and home support. It provides care to a diverse range of ages and needs.”

Ms Goudy says she loves this type of nursing and visiting clients in their homes.

 The rapport and the relationships make my work very rewarding. I meet lovely people who are grateful for the care they are receiving,” she said.

“I am able to fulfil my role due to the support of my wonderful managers and colleagues. Nursing is about the nursing team which works together to provide the best possible care. I am thankful for my role as a Registered Nurse. It is a very rewarding job,” she said.
