The Women’s and Children’s Hospital Foundation is thrilled to welcome Elspeth Hussey as an official ambassador.
Elspeth Hussey has spent years as a trusted journalist and presenter with 7NEWS Adelaide, sharing stories that have resonated deeply with South Australians. Now, she is using her voice to help support the vital work of the Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation (WCH Foundation), ensuring better healthcare experiences and outcomes for families.
“When I was approached by the WCH Foundation to become an ambassador, it was an easy and wholehearted yes,” Elspeth says. “I’m beyond proud to support the Foundation and the incredible work they do for families across South Australia.”
Elspeth’s connection to the WCH Foundation and the Women’s and Children’s Hospital (WCH) is profoundly personal and spans generations. Her mother served as a midwife and Nurse Practitioner in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for 40 years, sharing her compassion and expertise with countless families.
“I have fond memories of visiting mum at work and seeing first-hand the dedication and care of the nurses and doctors in the unit.”
More recently, Elspeth found herself in the care of the team at the WCH when she gave birth to her son, Monty, in October 2024.
“I had a very positive experience, and the care was just excellent,” she shares with heartfelt gratitude. It was this experience and the exceptional quality of care she received, that inspired her decision to join the Foundation.

Joining the WCH Foundation is not just a role for Elspeth, but a continuation of the stories and legacies she’s been part of throughout her life.
We are delighted to have Elspeth Hussey as part of the WCH Foundation community. Her passion and dedication to sharing stories that truly matter remind us of the importance of working together to achieve better health outcomes for all families.
Your support can make a meaningful difference. Whether through donations, volunteering, or raising awareness, you’re a vital part of creating brighter futures for children and families.
Please join us in welcoming Elspeth to the WCH Foundation family.
