On February 1 2018, Christine Barnett was putting her garbage bin out the front of her Temora home when she fell over in the driveway.

Ms Barnett tried screaming out for help, but her calls were unanswered. Due to a fractured leg, she was not able to move and spent the night alone, lying on the hard concrete in absolute agony.

Bailey Glasspool was driving to school with his mum and siblings when he noticed a woman "randomly" lying on the driveway of her home.

The 13-year-old knew something was wrong. He raised the alarm with his mum and encouraged her to turn around.

When Bailey and his mum, Julie, stopped, Ms Barnett couldn't utter a word.

Mrs Glasspool called triple zero while Bailey stayed right beside the woman.

Six minutes after the call was received, paramedics were on scene and were able to assist her.

For his service to the community, Bailey was nominated for a NSW Ambulance Star Award, presented annually in Sydney to unsung heroes across the state.

The awards are presented to ordinary children who do extraordinary things. Bailey was unable to make it to Sydney, but this week was presented his award by local paramedic Taz Rundle in Temora.

Upon receiving his award, Bailey said it made him feel "happy" knowing there is a woman alive today because of his intuition.

"I am glad we got her the help she needed, and I would say that to other people that if something doesn't look right, go back and check," he said. "I am happy we did because it could have been a lot different if we didn't."

Ms Barnett was at the Temora Ambulance Station when Bailey received his award, and she said she is forever in debt to Bailey.

"I would say to people not to think they are sticking their noses in by stopping," she said. "You can stick your nose in and get a thank you, or stick your nose in and get told to rack off.

"I am forever in debt to Bailey. I have no family that live here, and they have now become my family."

Ms Barnett said it is hard to hear that her life hung in the balance.

"Listening to people say that I could have died makes me all the more grateful for what Bailey did," she said.
