Our First Nation's People, Our Growth as People, Our 1st policy, and redrawing our logos for fun

Before new ERAS started we wrote some policy with other operators and our first ever policy related to caring for people from various backgrounds and consideration for indigenous people and ethnicity in HealthCare.

This reminded us of time spent in Rural, Regional and Indigenous settings such as work visits to remote Aboriginal Communities.

This type of work as well as volunteer work in Myanmar and Vietnam was some of the most rewarding vocational undertakings and a significant amount of learning and experience gained by us in our careers.

We hope in have aspirational aims for a bright future and want to be inclusive, supportive and caring about ourselves and all those people we encounter in our life and careers.

We respect others and have a culture of open communication, open disclosure and inclusion.

Our major goals are personal growth and constant improvement in order to be the best individual person and people we can.

As well as the serious cultural and sensitivity elements that relate to our history, ongoing growth and lifelong learning, we had some fun and used imagination with our logos. Above you may have noticed our logo points forward at all times (a bit like the animals chosen in our coat of arms) and resembles a Boomerang, a word of uncertain etymology that may relate to a Turuwal nation word 'wo-mur-rang' first reported by English colonists from around 1798. It means "a missile weapon used by Australian aboriginals". One source asserts that the term entered the English language in 1827.

The symbol of a HealthCare related cross is generally considered to be related to the Maltese Cross from the Knights of Malta known as 'Knights Hospitallers' and the cross adopted by ICRC (Red Cross) in 1863. The replacement above is actually a painting by Dolly Mills Petyarre of the Alhalkere from the Utopia Region and is correctly a pencil yam (atnwelarr) and a cassia (ilenyenp).

We continue to grow, learn and improve as individuals and people together....
