“As an Aboriginal doctor, I felt a huge pull towards working in ACCHS. It’s hard to describe, but I just felt that it was part of my role, or my responsibility I guess you could say, to actually get involved in community.
The thing I enjoy most about working in an ACCHS is the teamwork. We are very fortunate with our team and I do think it makes a difference for patients.
Being able to keep some allied health and specialist visits in-house is really helpful. Working alongside some great people can make the challenging moments easier as well. Sometimes you just need a good cup of tea and a debrief.”
