Narrator: Welcome to West Moreton Health. Our region is expanding at a rapid pace, and so too is demand for our healthcare services. We are delivering on our vision to provide more complex care closer to home through research innovation and technology. We are also focused on infrastructure and service design, and are working with our consumers on ways of delivering the right care in the right place at the right time.

Will: My name's Will Tumisimi and I'm the drug use Evaluation pharmacist and at Ipswich Hospital. The benefit of joining West Moreton personally for me is the fact that I was able to work in a role that I was able to showcase creativity. So I was stepping into an environment or a workplace where they actually embrace change, where they actually encourage you to look at doing things differently and trying to find better solutions for things is something that I find really rewarding for myself. West Moreton is definitely a place where you can grow and learn because there's always opportunities for secondments. There's always opportunities to present work, there's opportunities to do research. We recently had a paper published in the Australasian Journal of Ageing, which we're really proud of. I think the flexibility at West Moreton is something that I really enjoy. So I'm in a fortunate position where since I'm not responsible for delivering direct patient care. I'm able to work from home on some days of the week. And that's really important to me because it means that I'm able to pick up my son from school and also drop him off at school at times.

Narrator: Start a new journey with us and be part of a team that's connected to each other and our community, making a real difference to the lives of others. At West Moreton Health, we provide a flexible, inclusive, and diverse workplace that offers real opportunities for growth and development.

Kira: My name is Kira. I'm the First Nations Health Equity Program support officer at West Moreton Health. I returned back to West Moreton Health because of the opportunities that I'm getting. I only have to travel 10 minutes to come to work and 10 minutes home. So I'm closer to my family, I'm closer to my friends. I love working with my team, they really make me feel comfortable, they make me feel like I belong, they make me feel like I can make a difference. They support you even with, Sorry Business. You don't get that support anywhere else, really. Sorry Business is such a big thing, and for West Modern Health to let you have them days and to let you heal, that's a great thing.

Belinda: My name is Belinda and I'm a School Based Youth Health Nurse with West Moreton Health. The School Based Youth Health Nurse program partners with Education Queensland, sexual Health and other government and non-government organisations. I think the best thing is actually being in the school communities and having the contact with the young people and just being able to make a difference in their lives and working with other government departments, partnering with them, who offer students a range of health information. I feel very supported in my role. I'm also part of the public health unit, and it's a fantastic unit that's very supportive of their staff and of the health needs of West Moreton.

Narrator: We strive for continual improvement through innovation and teamwork and value the contribution of our staff, consumers, and the community in our decision making. Experience a health service where everyone is a leader, where your contribution is valued and respected and you can influence change.

Anita: My name is Anita. I'm a Senior Medical Officer at Boonah Hospital. My experience has been that I'm heard here, you know, and I feel that I am an important part of a team. That certainly has been validated in Boonah and in West Moreton where my existence and my identity is valued, you know, and my voice is valued. For example, if I have an issue, I can write to the CEO of West Moreton and I know that she will respond, you know, and that's not really heard of. I feel that I'm safe. I feel that I'm wanted and I feel that I'm important and I'm a part of something that we're trying to do. I think it's a lotto ticket getting a job here, to be honest. It's a great facility. Supports your education as well if you wanna, you know, upgrade your fellowship status or other studies that you want to do, which is great. I mean, west Moreton provides professional development leave, which is just phenomenal. What motivates me to come to work really is the fact that I make a difference every day to the lives of people in Boonah.

Narrator: We work together to give the best to our community. Come and join us at West Moreton Health.
