🏆 We’re proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements for SESLHD at this year’s NSW Health Awards!

Our Aboriginal Health Directorate was selected by the Secretary as Highly Commended for the Secretary’s Award. Their Aboriginal Community Council was designed to embed Aboriginal voices into decision-making across the District, ensuring that Aboriginal voice is within our service design and it provides meaningful engagement to support better health outcomes for Aboriginal people across SESLHD.

Congratulations also to our Equity and Prevention Service and Kirketon Road Centre teams, who were finalists for the Health Equity Award for their leadership of the Intersectoral Homelessness Health Strategy.

These achievements reflect the incredible dedication of our people and the difference they make through their compassionate work every day. Congratulations to everyone involved in these important initiatives! 👏

MEET JOSEPHINE | Senior Diabetes Dietician

“A young person I supported following a diabetes diagnosis was feeling overwhelmed. Rather than focusing solely on the clinical aspects of their care, I made it a priority to approach every conversation with kindness, empathy and without judgement. Over several appointments, trust developed and they began to open up. Together, we focused on achievable lifestyle changes, including healthier food choices and increasing physical activity. Over time, those small steps led to significant results, helping them improve their health and eventually come off insulin.

This experience reinforced something I believe strongly: you never know what someone may be carrying when they walk through the door. As healthcare professionals, we have an opportunity to create a safe, supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected and empowered to take charge of their health. My advice to other clinicians is simple: always approach patients with kindness and respect. When people know you're on their side, meaningful conversations and positive change become possible.”

Every proactive health conversation has the potential to make a lasting difference. Take a moment to reflect on the conversations you have each day and the impact they can have on a person's health and wellbeing.

At SESLHD, our patients are at the heart of everything we do, and our people are at the heart of who we are. Every day, they make a difference in the lives of the community, and the Awards recognise those reaching ten years of service to NSW Health, and every five years onwards.

A special congratulations to three staff members who celebrated a magnificent 50-year milestone: Fiona Mackie from Prince of Wales Hospital, Carol Still from the Royal Hospital for Women and Ray Sullivan from Corporate Services.
