Being named Allied Health Professional of the Year wasn't on Tegan's bingo card for 2025, but her career choice has helped around 35,000 patients this year alone. 😳

Originally planning on becoming a teacher, Tegan pivoted from Education and moved into Occupational Therapy, graduating in Roma and securing a role at the Community and Oral Health directorate around 18 years ago.

🤗 Tegan has been a part of the Community Transition Care Program (CTCP) from its inception and has cared for thousands of patients so that they can stay and thrive at home.

“I was part of the CTCP team when it opened and saw its first patient,” Tegan shares.

“I love it. I truly believe in what we do to put supports in place for the older person to live independently for as long as possible.

“It gives the whole team immense satisfaction that we are able to help people meet their goals.”

On Boxing Day, enjoying Christmas leftovers is almost as mandatory as avoiding the midday sun. 🌞😎

STARS Dietitian Lizzie has some tips on how to maximise the good in your Christmas leftovers whilst also maintaining healthy and sustainable habits into the new year.

"Leftovers are meant to be enjoyed, not avoided. The goal after Christmas isn`t a `reset`, it`s gently finding your routine again," shares Lizzie.

"I would suggest adding some veggie sticks to your cheese platters, topping your pavlova with a variety of different fruits, drinking a glass of water with every second drink and making a balanced meal from leftovers with fibre in salads, protein and a carb such as potato, rice or bread; preferably wholegrain where you can."

"To ease back into routine from festivities, ensure you fuel your body with regular meals, movement you enjoy and plenty of rest and relaxation."

Of all of the gifts that could be under your Christmas tree, a new baby is one of the best! 👶🎄

New parents Aaliyah and James welcomed baby Willow at RBWH this week and are very excited to have her home for Christmas Day.

"Willow`s arrival date changed a few times during my pregnancy, but we were so glad she arrived when she did," shares new mum Aaliyah.

"We wanted her to have her own special day as we have a few family members with birthdays close to Christmas, so we know she`ll get extra spoilt on her birthday every year."

"We both have big families, so everyone is excited to meet her when we bring her home. We won`t have to worry about changing any nappies on Christmas Day with everyone around, and we could also have an afternoon nap knowing that she`ll be well loved and looked after."

😍🎄 Congratulations to new parents Aaliyah and James on the recent arrival of their baby Willow
