Sarah Johnson-Clarke is a Clinical Midwife Consultant in Western Sydney Local Health District (WSLHD) with the Substance Use in Pregnancy and Parenting Services (SUPPS).

Her exceptional dedication to providing compassionate and empowering care to vulnerable women, particularly those with substance use issues, makes her an outstanding midwife.

Sarah has a remarkable ability to connect with women who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, and substance misuse, immersing herself in their world to understand their unique needs and challenges.

Despite the complexities of their situations, Sarah treats each woman with empathy, respect, and dignity, empowering them to take charge of their lives and make informed choices about their care.

Sarah was honoured as WSLHD's 2024 Midwife of the Year and was a nominee at the 2024 NSW Health Excellence in Nursing and Midwifery Awards.

The Pulse podcast uncovers health stories with clinical experts and this episode brings SUPPS to the forefront to generate awareness for anyone who might be struggling as to what services might be available and to showcase the amazing work that goes on in Sarah's department in WSLHD that people might not know about.
