Celebrating Australasian Sonographers Day 2026
Australasian Sonographers Day (ASD) was celebrated far and wide, with 109 workplaces registering a morning or afternoon tea! Sonographers came together to celebrate ASD in their own ways, from their usual day of scanning to pizza parties, indulgent chocolate fudge cakes, impressive charcuterie spreads or simply taking a lunch break with colleagues.
Hear from sonographers about what makes them proud to be a sonographer:
“I look forward to helping patients and being part of their healthcare journey.”
- Millie Chen, sonography student
“I'm proud to be a sonographer because I make a real difference every day.”
- Charlotte Harman
"I'm proud to be an echocardiographer because I get to use science to look at the heart, solve clinical puzzles and uncover information that can make a real difference."
- Caitlyn McKenzie
“This profession has given me lifelong learning, challenge and purpose.”
- Danielle Bowles, FASA
“The greatest reward has been helping patients and shaping the next generation of sonographers.”
- Andrew Grant
