We acknowledge how challenging it is to be working in the healthcare industry. Despite this, the enthusiasm and willingness of our staff to get in and get things done never ceases to amaze us.

Thanks to each and every one of you, our colleagues, for being there day after day, night after night, to care for those who need it most. We recognise the hard work and efforts undertaken to support the facility. Thank you.

Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)

The RAP is our road map to reconciliation with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and contains 100 deliverables for the hospital. Read the RAP. We encourage you to disseminate this through your networks and staff meeting and to get in touch with Geoffrey Binge for more information.
