Stewart is the Medical Director of DonateLife SA and an Intensive Care Specialist at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. He is Chair of the Central Adelaide Health Network Clinical Ethics Committee and member of the ANZICS Death and Organ Donation Committee since 2007.
Stewart led the development of the South Australian End-of-Life Follow-up Service in 2018, a collaboration between the ICUs and DonateLife, operational at all 4 South Australian adult hospitals. The service ensures that organ and tissue donation is considered at end-of-life in all patients, with each family able to feedback on their experience.
Bonny is stepping into the role as Acting Agency Manager whilst Amanda Stewart is on maternity leave. Bonny joined DonateLife SA in 2021 as a Donor Specialist Nurse Coordinator, following eight years working in intensive care. Her clinical experience has provided her with a strong understanding of critical care, end-of-life care and the experiences of patients and families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
Bonny is passionate about ensuring that every individual’s wishes are recognised, respected and, where possible, facilitated as part of their end-of-life journey. She is committed to collaborative and holistic care that supports patients, families and healthcare professionals throughout the donation and end-of-life process.
