Having worked previously in Cardiac Cath Labs in Edinburgh & London for 3 ½ years, before returning back to Melbourne where  he has worked on a Neurosurgical / Neuro Trauma ward. He is working as a Peri Operative Nurse currently in one of Melbourne's major Trauma Units, where he has been for the last 6 years.

Jonathan has been happily married for 17 years to Amanda.  Jonathan has worked in various roles within the Peri Operative Units in the Public Sector over the last 23 years.  After finishing his Bachelor of Nursing in 2008, he completed his gradute year and moved on to work as a Peri Operative Nurse. In 2013 Jonathan graduated with a Masters in Peri Operative Nursing Care & a Post Graduate Certificate in Remote Health Practice. Currently Jonathan works as Clinical Nurse Specialist  in one of Melbourne's major Trauma Units, where he has been for the last 7 years. 

We are both extremely honoured to have been accepted to serve on the African Mercy, in Cameroon February 2018. As part of the Mercy Ships program as Peri Operative Nurses in Theatre.

The Mercy Ships is a non-profit organisation the has been providing safe, free lifesaving surgeries and health care to some of the worlds poorest people. They have been doing this in particular in West Africa for the last 30+ years.

We are doing this as we want to give back, We have been given opportunity, skills, knowledge and a good life. We both now believe its our chance to help give hope and healing to someone less fortunate than ourselves. 

The money we are rasing is going towards our costs which include : travel expenses to/from Australia to Cameroon , the cost of board on the ship (Crew Fees), immunisations and Travel Insurance. Any money over and above this will be given to Mercy Ships Australia to help the on going work.

Any donation will be greatly recieved. You can do this through this page or directly to Brett or Jonathan.

Many thanks in advance.
