What is your job title?
NSW Health Pathology Courier
How long have you been with NSWHP?
Four months
What attracted you to the role?
The diversity of tasks, places and people I see every day. No two days are the same, and this job means I travel around the city of Newcastle, regional Hunter Valley and even further up the north coast to Port Macquarie to transport precious cargo. Everywhere I go there are new people to meet and interesting things to learn about the journey of samples from collection to analysis.
What do you like best about your job?
Before I started, I didn’t realise how much work goes into making sure all the thousands of samples collected every day get to the right place in critical time frames. The amazing people I work with, as well as the team that analyses the samples, work tirelessly to keep pathology testing running for the people of NSW. I enjoy being part of a large team that quietly keeps a very important part of the health system running on a day-to-day basis.
What are you most looking forward to over the holidays?
Spending time catching up with family and friends and taking my dog to the beach!
