NSW Health Pathology’s People and Culture leaders attended a recent jobs and skills event in Sydney, sharing some of our employment success stories with the Hon Murray Watt, Federal Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations.

Our Peo­ple and Cul­ture Act­ing Direc­tor Jes­si­ca Lee pre­sent­ed at the Joint Syd­ney Wide Task­force event in Decem­ber 2024.

“It was such an hon­our to be able to share with the Min­is­ter for Employ­ment and Work­place Rela­tions Mur­ray Watt some of the fan­tas­tic suc­cess sto­ries we have had here at NSW Health Pathol­o­gy,” Jes­si­ca said.

Jes­si­ca spoke about the inspir­ing sto­ry of Asraa Al Saa­di who she met at a Task­force event and who went on to secure her dream job with NSW Health Pathol­o­gy.

“Asraa’s expe­ri­ence is a great exam­ple of how job oppor­tu­ni­ties can trans­form lives, and as Australia’a largest pub­lic pathol­o­gy provider we know our staff make a pos­i­tive dif­fer­ence every day in the lives of the com­mu­ni­ties they serve.”

Act­ing Chief Exec­u­tive, Dr Dean­na Paulin, and Jes­si­ca were for­tu­nate to hear many inspir­ing sto­ries from par­tic­i­pants at the event who have over­come numer­ous obsta­cles to secure employ­ment, what it meant for them and their fam­i­lies in pro­grams run by the Taskforce.

“The Joint Syd­ney Wide Task­force pro­vides vital job oppor­tu­ni­ties to diverse com­mu­ni­ties, and we were excit­ed to hear the Min­is­ter con­firm fund­ing for the Local Jobs pro­gram would be extend­ed for an addi­tion­al 2 years!” Dean­na said.

“We are proud to be part of events like these and excit­ed to see how they can help our work­force bet­ter reflect the com­mu­ni­ties we serve every day.”
