Covering the more than 3,400 virtual kilometres between Caboolture Hospital and Uluru, patients like 98-year-old Simone are giving us all a run for our money🚶🚶♀️
As part of the 'Eat Walk Engage' program, patients are encouraged to record the laps they take as part of their recovery and tally their totals to foster some friendly competition between wards.
The end goal? To reach Uluru in the Northern Territory while preventing functional decline and reducing the risk of delirium.
💫 Eat Walk Engage Facilitator and Senior Physiotherapist Megha was delighted to add laps onto Ward 4D's tally with Simone during her recent stay.
"This initiative has been such a positive experience on the wards at Caboolture Hospital," Megha shared.
"Staff and patients alike see that even small amounts of activity can make a big difference to a patients’ recovery, independence and overall wellbeing."
"Simone really enjoyed the boost that the competition gave her to get up and go walking. She even danced some of the way through her lap!" 💃
As she looks forward to going home, Simone shared, "I haven't been walking much since I've been in hospital. It's really nice to use the competition as motivation to be more active."
👏👏🫶🫶 Well done, Simone. Show us how it's done!
Megha! Best physio ever xxxx
Eat Walk Engage is such a great program and should be in every ward in every hospital! Awesome work team 😊
Simone is such a sweetheart! It was lovely spending a bit of time with her, escorting her on her walk with Megha around the ward. 🤩 💕
Love this ❤️❤️
Whooo!
The Bribie Island Satellite Health Centre is today marking its first anniversary, and one year of delivering vital healthcare closer to home for the local community. 🎂
Since opening, the centre has provided more than 22,067 episodes of care, reducing the need for travel off-island and improving access to timely healthcare.
🤗 Bongaree local, 79-year-old Lynette, has been supported by the Healthy Ageing Assessment and Rehabilitation Team (HAART) during her recovery from a broken hip and ongoing management of Parkinson’s Disease.
“I’m incredibly grateful to the HAART team for helping me learn to walk and drive again. Having this service available close to home on the island was invaluable,” Lynette said.
“I’m now working towards my goal of returning to ocean swimming with my group, 'The Bobpers'. We do a combination of bopping and bobbing at Woorim Beach, every day of the year.”
💖 Located at Bribie Island Satellite Health Centre, the HAART team is helping locals like Lynette regain their independence.
In addition to Bribie Island, Satellite Health Centres are also available at Kallangur and Caboolture. Visit the below link to learn more about the services available at these facilities:

It's been 20 years since Caboolture Hospital began its School-Based Traineeship program, and superstars like Zoe are a shining example of how far that support can take you. ⭐
Joining the team in early 2024 on a School-Based Traineeship, Zoe completed her Certificate III Business Administration in April this year.
If these achievements aren't enough, Zoe has been nominated for the 2025 Queensland Training Awards in the North Coast Region for her efforts. Out of more than 500 applicants, she has been chosen as one of the top three finalists in our region. 🏆
When speaking of what she's learned during her time at Caboolture, Zoe shares that variety is a highlight of her days.
"I enjoy administration because you get to work both behind the scenes and at the front. There's so much diversity," she said.
We wish Zoe all the best at the awards this month and consider ourselves very lucky to have wonderful humans like her in the Metro North Health team. 🥰
Congratulations Zoe! You should be so proud of yourself - what an achievement!
Good one Zoe👍, I wish you all the best in the 2025 QLD Training Awards.
Very proud of you Zoe!
Congratulations Zoe for your award it up and onwards from here x
🚙 Taking the road less travelled is second nature to Lucy, a Metro North nurse who has had several rural and regional postings since starting her career 14 years ago.
Having spent time in rural Queensland and more recently, as a flight nurse for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), Lucy has a deep appreciation for patients who are thousands of kilometres away from their closest healthcare facility.
"Working in Mount Isa maternity and emergency opened my eyes to the challenges and rewards of rural health care," Lucy said.
"The skills I learnt there allowed me to fulfil my dream of working with the RFDS. It was an incredible experience combining my love for nursing, travel, aviation, and sunsets."
Lucy is settling back into SEQ life as a Clinical Nurse Consultant in Caboolture Hospital Emergency Department, where she hopes to combine her passion for midwifery and emergency nursing to improve care for women now and into the future. 🤰💗
"The challenges of caring for high-risk obstetric cases and critically ill patients have helped me appreciate the broad skills, resilience, and adaptability of rural and remote health professionals."
Lucy is one of the many nurses and other healthcare professionals who bring a diverse range of skills and experiences to Metro North Health.
Thank you everyone! Wow, feeling very overwhelmed with love and appreciation. I am very lucky to do what I love with so many amazing people (both past and present) 🥰
