✨ Vale Lesley Stewart – A Career of Care, Commitment, and a Bit of Theatre (the Surgical Kind!) ✨

Lesley Stewart’s nursing journey began as a registered nurse and midwife, with a natural flair for perioperative nursing. What was meant to be a working holiday around Australia brought her to the NT in 1982 and like so many who discover its magic, she never left. After a stint in Alice Springs, she made her way to Darwin in 1983, and the rest is history.

Over the decades, Lesley built an extraordinary career across just about every corner of nursing: from theatres and maternity wards to delivery suites, special care nurseries, outpatient clinics, and remote outreach. Whether leading teams or scrubbed in herself, she was known for her calm in the clinical storm and for the cheeky jokes she often shared in the tea room.

A proud NTPNA member since 1995, Lesley served as Treasurer for eight years, helped bring countless conferences to life, and represented the NT nationally as ACORN Director from 2014–2018. She was later honoured as an ACORN Fellow and continued to contribute through the Censor Panel. Her work on sharps management standards and her dedication to perioperative excellence left a lasting impact across the country.

Even when “poached from theatre” to lead Midwifery in the Home and later coordinate the Gynaecology Outreach Clinic, Lesley’s patient-centred approach shone through. She earned the Acute Care for Excellence award, a testament to her innovation and dedication. But the lights of theatre drew her back, where she specialised in general, vascular, hepatobiliary, thoracic, paediatrics, and urology surgery.

Lesley retired in 2022, though she often said she missed “you lot” her colleagues, patients, and the profession that gave her so much purpose, laughter, and joy.

💙 Lesley’s legacy will continue in the standards she shaped, the nurses she mentored, and the countless patients she cared for with skill, humour, and heart. She will be deeply missed.
