Kristy Wiegele, a Midwife at St John of God Mount Lawley Hospital, is a recognised clinical expert in the field of midwifery. Since supporting a family who lost their baby through stillbirth in 2014, Mrs Wiegele has raised more than $100,000 to purchase a cold cuddle cot for every maternity unit in Western Australia. The cot circulates cold air beneath a bassinet so families can spend as much time as they need with their stillborn babies. In addition to raising funds from community events and via her Facebook page, A Midwife’s Gift, she also brokered a significant partnership with the WA Department of Health.
On 26th October 2017, Kristy received the Community Service Award at the 2017 Alumni Achievement Awards, Curtin University.
Kristy studied a Bachelor of Science, Curtin University, 1998, Bentley campus, a Bachelor of Science (Nursing) General, Curtin University, 2008, Bentley campus & a Postgraduate Diploma in Midwifery, Curtin University, 2011, Bentley campus.
