2 A Better Life DUBBOThe Shopping Capital of the West A History of DubboDubboDubbo

The City is located in the centre of NSW and it is undoubtedly the shopping capital of the west. Dubbo is a service City and features a broad range of accommodation, restaurants, boutique wineries, recreation, health, education, children’s and sporting facilities.

The first Europeans in the area were the party of John Oxley who passed the future site of Dubbo in 1818. Oxley noted the quality of the soil, the water supply and the abundance of wildlife, including howling dingoes which kept him awake at night. At that time the Wiradjuri people were said to be in occupation of the land. The first permanent settler was Robert Dulhunty - described as one of the colony's wealthiest citizens - who departed Penrith with a party of some 40 Aboriginal guides some time between 1829 and 1833, choosing grazing land which he named 'Dubbo' just to the south of the present town site. It is certain he took the word from the local Aborigines but its meaning is entirely unclear.

The village of Dubbo was planned and proclaimed in 1849 with the first land sales taking place in 1850 (Dulhunty's estate subsequently became known as 'Old Dubbo'). Dubbo's first newspaper went into print in 1866, the first bank opened in 1867 and the first hospital was built in the late 1860s. Jean Serisier established a vineyard in 1868 which became one of the largest in the colony in the 1870s. Gold, coal, chalk, copper, diamonds and other precious stones were also mined in commercial quantities in the district. A tannery and a wool- scouring works were opened in 1873. By the time Dubbo became a municipality in 1872 it had a population of some 850 people and it had become the major manufacturing and service centre to much of western NSW. The arrival of the railway (and a railway bridge) in 1881 further contributed to Dubbo's importance. By that time it had 29 hotels, three breweries and a population of 3199, although the railway precipitated further settlement and population growth.

Thomas Alexander Browne served as police magistrate at Dubbo from 1881 to 1884. As 'Rolf Boldrewood', he wrote what is considered one of Australia's first novels of any note, Robbery Under Arms, which was published in serial form while he was still at Dubbo.

Dubbo has grown considerably since World War II, almost doubling its population between 1947 and 1971, and doubling it again since 1971. Dubbo was declared a city in 1966.

Help for New Staff

The Country Careers Program is a new program that has been funded by NSW Health for the next four years to help with the retention of new staff moving into each Area Health Service.

Catherine Deverell is the Country Careers Coordinator for the Greater Western Area Health Service. The role of the program is to contact new Doctors, Allied Health Professionals and Nurses in difficult to recruit to locations as soon as they have been chosen as the preferred applicant for a position and to assist these new staff, who are moving to a new town, to find rental accommodation; schools for their children; help in networking with local businesses to find work for partners or spouses; finding a sporting or community group they might like to join; etc.

Country Careers is about helping the new staff enter into the community they are moving to and to help them feel welcome and valued as a community member.

Learning & Development in partnership with external training providers and GWAHS staff have secured funding from a variety of sources to meet the challenge of growing our own to better meet the needs of our community. This has included participation in the Commonwealth Workplace English Language and Literacy Program.

As part of this Learning and Development and partners are: • Using recognition, assessment and learning pathways to enable staff to gain nationally recognised qualifications. • Developing our staff and expanding their career options. • Benchmarking across facilities to increase consistency and quality of service provision. • Increasing the uptake of Apprenticeships and Traineeships GWAHS and L&D both through partnerships with other RTOs and as a part of the NSW Health RTO offers an increased range of VET programs.

L&D is currently expanding its scope of practice and exploring additional partnerships to increase capapcity in line with workforce planning and organisational needs.

Preliminary evaluation of the overall strategy has shown that staff appreciate the skills recognition and workplace support and are open to career development opportunities. Some taking up roles in supervision and assessment and alternate career pathways within GWAHS.

The Institute of Rural Clinical Services and Teaching (IRCST)

The Institute of Rural Clinical Services and Teaching (IRCST) was formed in 2003 following recommendations from the NSW Health Plan (2002). It aims to support rural clinicians across all stages of their careers and promote good practice in rural health service delivery.

It is a "virtual institute" with staff working across NSW. The current Executive Director, Ms Linda Cutler, is based in Dubbo.

IRCST provides a range of opportunities to rural and remote health staff:

• NSW Rural Research Capacity Building Program – each year IRCST accepts up to 30 candidates from rural and remote area health services to undertake a research project. Successful candidates participate in a research methods short course, conducted in Sydney by the NSW Primary Health Care Collaboration; are provided with a paid backfill day each week for a two year period; and are linked with mentors who have an interest or experience in the topic or methods required for the project. Applications are usually called in May each year. • NSW Health Awards Sponsorship – each year IRCST sponsors up to 40 rural and remote health staff to attend the Health Expo which exposes them to a range of continuous quality improvement projects from across the state.

IRCST also conducts a major conference, in a rural location, each year: • NSW Rural Allied Health Conference – held in Dubbo during October 2007, this conference attracts allied health professionals from rural and remote NSW to share valuable experiences and raise issues facing allied health practitioners. This conference is held biennially. • NSW Rural and Remote Health Conference – held in Coffs Harbour during November 2008, this conference attracts health professionals from a range of disciplines, with a view to working together to improve rural and remote health and health services. This conference is held biennially.

Some of IRCST’s other projects include:

• NSW Rural Stroke Project • NSW Rural Rehabilitation Clinician Network Project • NSW Rural Allied Health Project • Biostatistician Trainee • Chair in Rural Pharmacy

From time to time IRCST calls for submissions for research or service improvement projects which meet the objectives of the IRCST business plan.

The IRCST website provides additional information on all of the above, as well as any emerging projects. You can also sign up to the IRCST webgroup, and you’ll be notified of upcoming events, funding opportunities, sponsorships and new initiatives. Log onto: www.ircst.health.nsw.gov.au

or for additional information contact the Office of the Executive Director on (02) 6841 2271.
