Tim Turner, ATA Hedland Instructor received multiple prestigious awards from The WA Health Industry at its annual WA Health Conference and Awards night with his work with the Aboriginal people and community of Port Hedland.
WA Health Awards 2011The WA Health Awards were established to recognise the innovative work being undertaken by WA Health employees in providing quality health care to the people of Western Australia. The aim of these Awards is to promote and inspire best practice and continuous improvement, and to recognise those employees who tirelessly strive to better our public health services. The WA Health Awards were presented at the closing dinner during the WA Health Conference on Wednesday 30th November.
The Awards honour outstanding employee contributions across WA Health and were presented in the following categories in 2011:
Winner:
Tim Turner, Indigenous Employment Program, WA Country Health Service – Pilbara.
Director General's Choice Award
The Indigenous Employment Program is an innovative five-year project to increase the recruitment and retention of Aboriginal staff across the Pilbara. The program is a partnership with Royalties for Regions program and the WA Chamber of Minerals and Energy’s Pilbara Industry’s Community Council Health initiative members (BHP Billiton Iron Ore, Chevron Australia Pty Ltd, North West Shelf Joint Venture, Rio Tinto and Woodside Energy).
This commitment has witnessed more than 30 new starters in the past 12 months. This is a significant achievement as the Pilbara is one of the most competitive labour markets in Australia. The Program funds a flexible scholarship program which has resulted in 37% of Aboriginal staff undertaking tertiary studies and a staff development program that draws upon the cultural and contemporary strengths of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal leadership.

comments (1)Two players form the ATA Hedland club are gearing up to contest the 2011 Australian nationals being held in Canberra from 8-11 September. Peter Wyn will be vying for national honours in the junior u14 black belts while Riley Caswell hopes to bring home medals in the u12 red belt juniors. The ATA Hedland club is proud of their efforts in qualifying from the state selections held in Perth back in June 2011. It will be the first time the Hedland club is represented at the Australian nationals. Port Hedland is a mining town up in the resource rich north west Pilbara region of Western Australia that has a population of only 22,000.
The local newspaper, The Pilbara Echo recently spent time with the Hedland club interviewing both Peter and Riley and their instructor. You can read their interview in this article news (click here).
