World Prematurity Day -Monday Nov 17th 2025
Give preterm babies a strong start for a hopeful future
This year’s theme echoes WHO’s Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures campaign. It reminds us that every child deserves a fair chance at life, starting from their very first moments.
A strong start isn’t just about survival – it’s about honouring the promise of every tiny life. It’s about giving these babies the chance not only to survive but to thrive and one day, transform the world.

Approximately 10% of people are born prematurely – and this rate is even higher among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations. With growing evidence of lifelong impacts on lung health, understanding prematurity is vital in primary care.
Join us for the second webinar in our FINGERPRINT series, presented in partnership with Lung Foundation Australia. Through two real-world case studies – one paediatric and one adult – you’ll explore how prematurity shapes respiratory health and discover practical tools for reflective practice and quality improvement in your own clinical setting.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance care and outcomes for people born preterm.
