For Redcliffe Hospital Allied Health assistant and Army Reservist Cassady, Anzac Day is a solemn and important opportunity to pay tribute to those who served.

Having dedicated 20 years of his life to his military career, Cassady has seen both the best and the very worst of what humans are capable of.

“Mateship is the greatest thing about the Army experience. You bond over things that most people will never encounter,” he says.

“During my time serving, I’ve been deployed overseas in peacekeeping capacities and been involved in many domestic operations, including disaster response. These days I mainly instruct on land combat modules, initial employment training and I am small arms instructor.”

Today and every day, Metro North recognises and commemorates the sacrifices of our Anzacs. Lest we forget. ... See MoreSee Less

Dr Alan Yan is an emergency department doctor at Redcliffe Hospital and the new chair of Metro North Health’s Clinical Council.

“Essentially, the Clinical Council is a voice for all staff,” Dr Alan said.

“Clinical council seeks input from staff and presents it to senior leaders to consider as part of planning, delivering and improving hospital services.”

“Frontline staff know better than anyone what’s working well in caring for patients and areas where there are challenges.”

Dr Alan said Clinical Council met regularly with hospital and health service executives and board members about ways to make Metro North Health even better.

“Regardless of role, everyone plays an important part in our hospital community, and deserve to have their say,” Dr Alan said.

Meet Rhett, a Patient Support Officer at Redcliffe Hospital. 👋

Rhett’s journey as a Patient Support Officer started 34 years ago when friend who worked at Redcliffe Hospital told him about a vacant role, and he has been part of the team ever since.

“My role is varied, but essentially, I support patients around the hospital on beds and wheelchairs. I also handle soiled linen and help return patients from appointments—whatever needs to be done,” Rhett said.

What Rhett enjoys most about his role is the people he interacts with.

“I love interacting with people, not just the patients, but the staff too. The camaraderie and conversation really take people's minds off why they’re here. You never know what someone’s going through, so just having a chat or listening can make a big difference. Some patients tell me the most interesting stories,” Rhett explained.

Looking back on his 34 years at Redcliffe, Rhett reflects on the many connections he’s made and the rewarding work he’s done.

“It’s been a great place to work, and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. I’ve met a lot of nice people along the way,” Rhett said.

Thank you, Rhett, for your years of dedication and the compassion you show every day. ❤️
