AS National Safe Work Month is recognised this month, Kambu Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation for Health is highlighting the importance of cultural safety, inclusion and opportunity in building a strong and healthy workplace.
Employing more than 100 staff across its services, Kambu Health is a significant local employer and an equal opportunity employer, providing career opportunities for people from a diverse range of backgrounds while maintaining a strong connection to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and community.
For Deputy Chief Executive Programs Stacee Caton, being able to work alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues while supporting local families makes her role much more than simply a job.
“Working at Kambu Health as an Aboriginal woman is more than a career, it is a privilege and something I am incredibly proud of,” Ms Caton said.
“Every day, I have the opportunity to work alongside my people, support our families and contribute to stronger outcomes for our children, community, and future generations.
“This work is deeply personal to me. It is about giving back, creating opportunities for our people and honouring those who came before us, while building a stronger future for those who come after us.”
National Safe Work Month provides an opportunity for workplaces across Australia to focus on creating safe and healthy working environments, encompassing both the physical and psychological wellbeing of employees.
At Kambu Health, cultural safety and connection are also an important part of that equation, with staff working within an organisation grounded in community, culture and improving outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
