In order to make a career in health more attractive and accessible to young rural people the Loddon Mallee Health Careers Consultative Committee (LMHCCC) was formed. The LMHCCC, a group of professionals representing the health sector, the secondary and tertiary sectors, groups working with young people and the Departments of Human Services and Education has developed the Second in a series of publications aimed to assist Careers Teachers in informing students and their familes about a career in the health sector. "Careers in Health" is a publication designed to show careers teachers the range and diversity of careers in the health sector. The range of occupations in the field of allied health, administration/clerical, and support services supplements the traditional medical careers of nurse or medical practitioner. Within each major category there is a wide range of occupations requiring a range of academic achievements. Just because you're not an "A" student doesn't mean that there is not an occupation for you. Careers in the health sector put the professional at the forefront of technological advancement while at the same time using the age-old skills of human interaction to find the best health outcome for patients. It is the combination of interpersonal skills and technology which make the health professionals so important in the life of a rural community. The demand for nursing, medical and allied health staff is currently very high with additional staff being recruited from overseas to meet the unmet demand. The field of health is one where a professional has transferability of skills within Australia. Which means that once trained, a health professional can find employment wherever they are. Communities need health professionals and so the prestige of an individual who works in the health field is high. I commend this publication to careers teachers and trust the information contained herein will assist in a positive work experience placement and an informed decision about embarking on studies and a career in the health sector. Regional Director Department of Human services Loddon Mallee Region Why a Placement in the Health Sector? What’s interesting about a career in Health? A career in the health sector is employment that benefits both the individual and the community. The dedication of health sector staff in turn is recognised by society and has high social status. Careers in the Health industry are generally well paid, have transferability of qualifications and a clear career path. What use will it be to Students? A placement in the health sector will assist students to make the decision about careers in that sector based on reality rather than romantic notions as seen on television. The sheer range of activities that are part of the health sector means that without actually doing work experience it would be difficult to understand the role of each of the professions in the mix of health services. Where can the Students work? A passport to overseas travel. A person trained in the health profession in Australia has access to employment around the world. This also applies to moving within Australia, where subject to registration by State Authorities skills are transferable. The current example with a shortage of trained nurses has seen staff being recruited both around Australia and overseas. What will be expected of the Student? The number one expectation of a placement in the health sector is that the student has a definite interest in the health profession. The time and effort required by an agency in placing a student means that the staff and agencies only want students who are keen to learn and contribute. A"Careers in Health" is not just for "A" students. In speaking to students it is clear that many are put off a career in the Health sector by the unrealistic expectation that they will be "A" students. Whilst it is realistic for students to know that a career in Medicine requires very high entrance score it is also true that many of the other occupations, including Nursing and many allied health position, do not have nearly as high an entrance requirements. Many careers in the health sector do not require tertiary education at all and are vocation careers, either requiring TAFE or on the job training. These careers are particularly in the Administration, Clerical and Support Services areas. In a modern hospital there may be as many if not more staff employed in these areas as a there are tertiary educated staff. A number medical students who are part of the Melbourne University Rural Health Club and Monash University Rural Practice Association, felt even as high achieving VCE students that they were discouraged by their respective careers teachers from pursuing a career in the medical field. Luckily for those students they pursed their chosen careers regardless and will graduate their 6 year medical qualifications this year. Such is degree of commitment of these tertiary students they offered school visits in rural areas to encourage more student in the health field. The value placed

  • Media Release***
    ***Media release*** Record 90 interns start at Austin Health A record 90 interns started their first rotation in the Austin Health/Northern Health training program on Monday 18 January - the largest number to ever begin in a single intake and the largest program in Victoria. Manager of HMO Services Sarah McConchie said the program has not only the largest intern intake in Victoria, but also the widest range of rotations. “We have some really exciting positions this year. We are constantly looking at new and innovative roles to offer interns, to provide them with as broad and meaningful an experience as possible,” says Ms McConchie. During their intern year, the new recruits will complete five 10-week rotations, three of which must be in Surgery, General Medicine and Emergency Medicine. This year, interns have the opportunity to complete rotations in two new fields – Psychiatry and Forensic Medicine. The Forensic Medicine placement, which will be undertaken at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, is the first of its kind in Victoria. Dr Sundar Veerapan from Alphington officially starts his career as the first intern in Victoria to do a rotation in Forensic Medicine. “I’m really interested in the medico-legal aspects of Forensic Medicine, such as how doctors contribute to testimonies,” Dr Veerapan said. There were over 500 applications for the 90 positions available in 2010. Director of Medical Education Dr Heather Grusauskas said she is delighted that so many new graduates have chosen Austin Health as their employer of choice. “The medical education unit provides state-of-the-art training and learning opportunities to teach appropriate skills to ensure high quality patient care,” Dr Grusauskas said.

He was. 89, born in the same year as Ararat and Beechworth Hospitals were opened. He came to Victoria from Wales in 1905 as the first Inspector-General and he retired in 1937. He was an outstanding person, and despite the shortage of funds he managed to build Royal Park Receiving House, Mont Park Mental Hospital, Travancore Centre, and Janefield Colony. He made considerable improvements in the mental hygiene acts and it was due to his foresight that the voluntary-boarder system was introduced in Victoria eighteen years before the English mental-treatment Act was proclaimed. He was a charming person with a delightful wit and manners but he was forthright and uncompromising in his disapproval of the Mental Hygiene Authority Act which he maintained left a mental hygiene authority without authority.

  • Royal Children's Hospital
    Long term Disability Care and Support Scheme Productivity Commission Inquiry Submission on behalf of The Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne Introduction The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) welcomes the opportunity to provide this submission to the Productivity Commission’s inquiry into a National long‐term Disability care and Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia. The RCH is the major specialist paediatric hospital in Victoria. Our care extends to children in Tasmania, southern New South Wales, as well as other states and overseas. We are the designated state‐wide major trauma centre for paediatrics in Victoria and a Nationally Funded Centre for cardiac and liver transplantation. With our campus partners, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute and The University of Melbourne, Department of Paediatrics, we are united in our goal to improve the health outcomes for children. In 2009‐10, RCH treated close to 35,000 inpatients, more than 230,000 outpatients, 7,500 patients underwent surgery and 67,000 patients presented at our Emergency Department. A significant number of these children have some form of disability and have complex health needs. This submission has been developed with the collective input of staff across RCH, including Allied Health, Social Work, Adolescent Health and Development Medicine. In making this submission, we firstly acknowledge the efforts of government in this initiative, which has the potential to make a significant difference to the lives of many children and their families living with a disability. We support a well funded, co‐ordinated and inclusive national disability care and support scheme which addresses the issues within the current system.
