Live and work in paradise
NORTHERN Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN), in partnership with Health Workforce Queensland, has launched a campaign in a bid to attract a wide variety of health workforce – including GPs, support workers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island health workers, among others.
NQPHN chief executive officer Ben Tooth said the campaign was designed to inspire health professionals to consider northern Queensland as both a career and lifestyle destination.
“We are proud to share the voices of those already working in our region,” said Mr Tooth.
Dr Nicole Rumney said delivering health care within the area was unique as it provided a diverse mix of presentations from remote Indigenous health to visiting tourists from all around the world.
“All the patients that you meet and interact with, you could make a really big difference for. she said.
Health Workforce Queensland’s acting CEO, Zena Martin, welcomed the initiative.
“This campaign paints a true picture of what it means to live and work in northern Queensland – combining professional development with the adventure, culture, and lifestyle that makes this region unique,” she said.
