Sarah Ellyard
Sarah Ellyard is a registered nurse and union delegate based in Annandale, New South Wales. As a single mother currently on parental leave, she faces the challenges of balancing the demanding and unpredictable nature of shift work in the nursing profession with her responsibilities as a parent to her young son, Finley. Ellyard has expressed concerns about the emotional toll of her job, particularly in an acute mental health ward, and the lack of flexibility in scheduling that makes it difficult for nurses like her to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
