In Episode 56, Stuart McCullough goes on the road to film our new series of podcasts – the Member Spotlight – in which he stops at Barwon Health, to talk to Sharelle McGuirk, Koorie Workforce Officer at the newly established Aboriginal Health Unit. This week’s episode takes a look at the importance of the Welcome to Country acknowledgement, the benefits of establishing and centralising the unit in one office and creating an environment that fosters comfort and support to Aboriginal people. Finally, they discuss how the Aboriginal Health Unit is working to improve Aboriginal employment in healthcare fields, breaking down systematic and historical limitations and paving the way for a culturally inclusive workforce.
