a lifetime of dedication in service

"I pledge myself loyalty to serve my King and Country and to maintain the honour and efficiency of the Australian Army Nursing Service. I will do all in my power to alleviate the suffering of the sick and the wounded, sparing no effort to bring them comfort of body and peace of mind. I will work in unity and comradeship with my fellow nurses. I will be ready to give assistance to those in need of my help, and will abstain from any actions which may bring sorrow and suffering to others. At all times I will endeavour to uphold the highest traditions of Womanhood and and of the Profession of which I am Part."
