The best Fathers Day gift
"My name is Kelsey.
I am an ED nurse on maternity leave.
My husband, Jason, and I recently had our first baby, a little girl, which we named Heidi.
Our daughter was born on 2 September via emergency caesarean.
We wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who was involved in both mine and Heidi's care.
Heidi spent five days in SCBU with neonatal sepsis. She had amazing around-the-clock care from some spectacular nurses.
A special mention to the staff member who calmed Jason, a very nervous new dad, while Heidi had her IV inserted.
Also, a big thank you to the staff who helped establish breastfeeding and gave me so much confidence. The staff showed amazing empathy and communication.
Jason was able to take us both home on Father's Day - which was the best gift he could've hoped for." - Kelsey

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
