One in ten Australian babies spend time in a newborn intensive care unit, and it’s an incredible group of people who are improving outcomes for those infants. However, the greatest success will come when we all get involved. Join Professor Nadia Badawi and Tracey Spicer as they discuss the often challenging, but always inspiring, world of newborn intensive care. Hear how Nadia thinks differently about what is possible for babies born with cerebral palsy. Tracey asks how our understanding of CP has changed over the years and critically, what does that mean for the future? Could a global pandemic really offer silver linings to those living with disability? And what’s changed to make the idea of a cure for CP no longer seem so fantastical?

Internationally recognised neonatologist and CPA’s Chair of Cerebral Palsy, Professor Nadia Badawi is renowned for her research into neonatal intensive care outcomes. At CPA’s Research Foundation, Nadia and the team are investigating ways to prevent, treat and ultimately, cure cerebral palsy. Learn more about their work at cerebralpalsy.org.au/our-research/

Author, journalist and broadcaster, Tracey Spicer is a passionate advocate for the causes that matter most. For her decades of work for social welfare and charitable groups (including as an ambassador of the Royal Hospital for Women’s newborn care unit), Tracey was awarded the Order of Australia in 2018.
