Celebrating Our Aged Care Nurses with FoodSt

This week, in celebration of International Nurses Day (May 12th), we at Altaira want to take a moment to extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible Registered and Enrolled Aged Care Nurses. Their dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care to our seniors in aged care are truly inspiring. They are the heart of our community, and we cannot thank our nurses for all that they do.

As a small token of our appreciation, we were delighted to gift our Nurses working in Victoria a meal delivery voucher towards FoodSt. This aligns with this year’s theme “Our Nurses. Our Future. Caring for nurses strengthens economies”. This theme highlights how crucial it is to promote nurses’ health and wellness. It emphasises how important a healthy nursing workforce is for providing high-quality care, as well as for improving healthcare systems and increasing economic resilience on a global scale. We recognise the vital link between nutrition and overall health, and we’re proud to support Nurses well-being with access to a range of healthy and delicious meals.

“While this gesture offers you the chance to enjoy a meal on us, we acknowledge that it is by no means indicative of your immense value as nurses in our community. Your contributions go far beyond what any gift could represent,” says Jelena Giro, Director, Altaira.

“Thank you to all our amazing nurses. Your dedication makes a profound difference in the lives of our residents, and we are honoured to celebrate you this International Nurses Day.”

By partnering with another VIC-based business FoodSt, we are providing our nurses with easy access to home-cooked meals that nourish both the body and the spirit.

Lorraine founded FoodSt with a mission to empower and uplift others through the comfort and nourishment of authentic home-cooked meals. FoodSt not only supports busy individuals by providing convenient access to high-quality, nutritious meals, but also creates meaningful opportunities for home cooks to earn an income while sharing their rich cultures and culinary traditions. Designed to fuel energy, meet the demands of long shifts, and support overall wellbeing, FoodSt’s ready-made meals also make healthy family eating simple—especially when time for grocery shopping, planning, and cooking is limited.

At Altaira, we believe in prioritising the health and well-being of our aged care workers through various initiatives throughout the year.

If you are an Altaira Nurse, your Gift Voucher for FoodSt has been sent to your email with instructions on how to redeem.
