While we always love welcoming new team members at NWRH, secretly we have a soft spot for the tiny ones🍼👶

Many of our clients in Mount Isa have probably seen Community Services Team Leader Meagan around our office, but very soon she’ll be heading off to fulfill another exciting role, growing her beautiful family.

The North West team recently came together for a fun afternoon celebrating her baby shower, filled with delicious food, and of course, plenty of “expert” advice.

Some highlights:
🧺“Buy more pegs”... words of wisdom from Allied Health General Manager Sarah
🍩“Always surprise the baby with donuts” ... donuts are always a great idea Occupational Therapist Heidi

On behalf of the whole NWRH team, we’re so excited for you Meagan, wishing you all the very best, sleep (hopefully!), and special moments ahead.

Now we want to know… comment below your best advice for an expectant mum?👇

Last week some of our team joined the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) in supporting the Farmers Community Connect event in Julia Creek🌾🚜

The event lead by RRT supported farmers and the community in the region who have experienced repeated flooding over the past three years. To assist local recovery, RRT donated 300 tonnes of feed, with each registered farmer receiving one-tonne to support herd rebuilding 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾

As many producers in the region are rebuilding livestock and essential infrastructure, and experiencing ongoing financial pressure and fatigue, our NWRH team was grateful to provide health checks and support overall wellbeing at the event 🩺

Thanks to Robyn, Senior Exercise Physiologist; Ann-Marie, General Manager Wellbeing and Julia, Team Leader Wellbeing for lending your hand in such a well-ran event 🧡💙💛

🚶‍♀️ Supports mobility – Great for arthritis, post-surgery rehab, and chronic pain.
❤️ Boosts circulation and cardiovascular health – Gentle aerobic conditioning without strain.
😊 Enhances mood and confidence – Warm water promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety.
🤝 Encourages social connection – Group sessions build community and reduce isolation.
🧠 Supports cognitive engagement – Structured exercises improve coordination and focus.

Congratulations to Heidi Bliesner on an incredible 19-year milestone! 🎂🎈

Reaching nearly two decades with NWRH is a massive achievement. As the "backbone" of critical areas like quality, risk, safety, and accreditation, Heidi has played a vital role in ensuring the organisation provides safe and high-standards of care to all of our communities.

Heidi commenced her role with us on the 21st of March 2007 as a Practice Support Officer in Longreach.

She moved to Townsville in late 2010 and was faced with Cyclone Yasi in 2011 that saw her nearly move back out West.

Throughout her time with us Heidi also held the role of Medicare Local Support Coordinator and Medicare Local Program Manager, before commencing her role as Team Leader Quality and Risk in 2015 and
Quality Manager in 2017 🧡💙💛

FUN FACT- Within her time with NWRH Heidi has coordinated an impressive '10' ISO accreditation audits and is about to steer us through our 11th next month 📋

Join us in congratulating Heidi on her achievement 👇

GIVE TO GAIN 🎨🎁

Showing that there are many ways to support the International Women's Day 2026 'Give to Gain' campaign all year long, the NWRH Finance team in Townsville have come together to run a office donation drive to help support another community organisation that gives back to locals through youth services, diversionary programs, supported accommodation, community patrol and so much more.

Donating a huge bundle of arts and craft supplies a big shout out goes to both the NWRH Finance team and staff for supporting this great cause 🧡💙💛

WORKPLACE WELLNESS🧩

Sometimes workloads can have us feeling like our brain has 47 tabs open and 3 of them are frozen! 🧠❄️

At NWRH we encourage our team to take regular short breaks and lean into workplace wellbeing initiatives like our office puzzle break.

Whether it’s a shared jigsaw in the breakroom or a quick game of Connect-Four over coffee, hitting "pause" is actually a productivity power move. Here’s why:
✨ The "Aha!" Moment: Ever notice how the best ideas often hit when you’re not looking at your monitor?
✨ Connection: It’s the new water cooler. Nothing builds team spirit like three people collectively hunting for a single "piece of blue sky."

Taking five, finding a corner piece, and coming back sharper means our team is best equipped to carry out their duties caring for our rural, regional and remote communities. 🚀

What’s your go-to "brain break" during the day? Let us know in the comments! 👇
