As a descendant of the last full-blooded Tasmanian Aboriginal Fanny Cochrane-Smith, it is no surprise that Kristy Cooper felt compelled to become a rural area nurse to help Aboriginal people.

But what did come as a surprise, at least to Kristy, was the recent announcement naming Kristy as Western Australia’s 2012 Nurse of the Year.

Kristy received the top honour at the recent WA Nursing and Midwifery Excellence Awards after also winning the Rural and Remote Registered Nurse category.

One of 16 nurses and midwives throughout the state to win the diverse range of award categories, Kristy was awarded the overall title for her commitment to providing acute care, educating emerging rural and remote nurses, and for her work developing primary health and prevention programs.

At 27, Kristy has spent the past three years working at a single nurse post in Coral Bay, a small town on the coast of WA, 1200km north of Perth, which is home to between 150 to 200 locals plus the seasonal tourists who come to experience Australia’s only fringing reef and its outstanding marine life.

“Because I grew up rurally and with the Indigenous heritage, I am really quite interested in social and economic inequality,” she said.

“I �nd it hard to believe that people do have such a different life path. I �nd it hard to accept it’s already pre-determined because of social, economic and geographic location.

“I �nd it really hard to deal with and I am eager to overcome it.”

As a frontline health professional, Kristy is passionate about remote practice and hopes to improve service delivery to people in remote areas, who Kristy said are “the sickest people in Australia statistically”.

Kristy, who job shares with another nurse and works one week on and one week off, is completing her Masters in Remote Health Practice (Nurse Practitioner) through Flinders University and the Centre for Remote Health in Alice Springs.

With the nearest hospital 120km away at Exmouth, Kristy thrives on the generalist aspect of her nursing role.

“You see so much and you never know what’s coming in,” she said.

“With that comes a lot of autonomy and advanced practice.”

Kristy hopes she will be endorsed as a nurse practitioner and wants to continue nursing in Coral Bay.

“If they re-classify my position I will be able to rid some of the gaps that exist in health care delivery in Coral Bay,” she said.

“I will be able to do a lot more, sooner for the patient rather than the patient having to wait for the doctor to arrive.”

Kristy has completed additional study in a bid to improve her service to patients and she is also working on a thesis researching the experiences and expectations of orientation in rural area nursing, in a bid to enhance the experience for nurses.

More than 1000 disability nurses in New South Wales are campaigning for pay parity with nurses in the public system.

Ageing, Disability and Home Care (ADHC) nurses who work under the Department of Family and Community Services are also the �rst nurses to face major State Government cuts to their award, targeting annual leave, penalty rates and travel allowances.

New South Wales Nurses and Midwives’ Association spokesperson Lisa Kremmer said ADHC nurses are paid about six per cent less than nurses in the public system.

Ms Kremmer said pay disparity coupled with the proposed award cuts had prompted ADHC nurses to �ght back.

“Nurses working in that sector have had their pay fall signi�cantly behind pay in the public health system,” she said.

“Nursing is a competitive industry where nurses are in demand and nurses have to earn a living wage, a decent wage.

“Nurses that continue to work in ADHC love the job but that doesn’t pay the bills.”

Ms Kremmer said morale among ADHC nurses had reached a new low.

“I think it’s fair to say morale is pretty poor,” she said.

“They feel like they are a silent minority, that they are not respected and they are not recognised for the valuable contribution that they make to the quality of life for people with a disability.

“This is about these nurses being able to stay in the sector.

“For clients, it will mean appropriate nursing care into the future, and that’s important.”

Cuts to the Crown Employees Award affecting about 80,000 public sector workers state-wide, including ADHC nurses, include:

The general secretary of the NSW Nurses Association has questioned promises made by NSW Health Minister Jillian Skinner that nurses’ jobs will be protected in the state’s health sector cuts.

Brett Holmes said the minister, while insisting nurses’ jobs be protected, had given responsibility for $775 million in budget cuts over four years to Local Health Districts (LHDs). The move is expected to see $89 million shaved off the budget for NSW hospitals this year.

With the NSW budget only announced around a fortnight ago, the results were already emerging, Holmes said. Nurses in key positions were being offered voluntary redundancies by their LHDs, while many hospitals and health facilities were witnessing dramatic cutback measures.

“In the Hunter New England area, they are picking positions of high value such as clinical nurse consultants and nurse managers and offering voluntary redundancies.’’

“At Manning Rural Referral Hospital in Taree, all staff were asked to come forward regarding voluntary redundancies. Staff were also lectured about not taking sick leave. They were told that if they have a cold they should wear a mask and come to work. They were also told that anyone who is sick needs a medical certi�cate. When you consider that this entails asking rural doctors to spend administration times giving nurses a certi�cate, it gets into the realms of the ridiculous.”

Holmes said the state was already suffering from chronic staff and resources shortages.

The NSW labour expense cap, which the NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell has imposed on all departments, is on top of $2.2 billion in savings over four years NSW Health has been asked to make. The $2.2 billion in savings will be redirected to frontline services.

Minister Skinner has reportedly acknowledged that a 5.4 per cent increase in this year’s health budget, to deliver $16.4 billion in recurrent spending, will not keep up with rising costs and patient demand. Hospitals will be expected to deliver an extra 50,000 emergency department visits, 30,000 overnight hospital stays and 2000 elective surgery procedures this year.

Meanwhile the opposition spokesman on health, Andrew McDonald, reportedly estimated the government would shed about 3600 jobs - or 3 per cent - over four years. ‘’Many of these people are frontline workers,’’ he said. ‘’Allied health will bear the brunt of the cuts.’’

A new report reveals almost two thirds of the 6.5 million emergency department visits at Australia’s public hospitals in 2011-2012 were completed in four hours or less.

The statistics, detailed in the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s report on emergency department care 2011-12, shows 64 per cent of ED visits were completed in the four-hour timeframe, with 90 per cent of patients leaving the ED within 8.5 hours.

The states and territories have agreed to achieve a 90 per cent rate of patients completing their ED visit within four hours by the end of 2015 as part of the national health reforms.

It’s the �rst time the report, which covers the 12 months to June 30 this year, has included

data on the length of stay in EDs and the length of time from ED visits to hospital admissions.

Western Australia reported the highest proportion of ED visits completed in four hours at 79 per cent, Tasmania was next on 66 per cent, followed by Victoria and the Northern Territory both on 65 per cent, Queensland and South Australia on 64 per cent, New South Wales on 60 per cent and the ACT on 58 per cent.

The median waiting time to clinical care was 15 minutes in SA, 19 minutes in NSW, 21 minutes in Victoria, 22 minutes in Queensland, 24 minutes in Tasmania, 29 minutes in WA, 38 minutes in the ACT and 39 minutes in the NT

The NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association (NSWNMA) has issued an apology to the mothers, fathers, sons and daughters subjected to forced adoption between the 1950s and 1970s.

The apology came after state parliament, in front of a packed gallery, recently passed an historic motion of apology for the traumatising policy.

Parliament heard an estimated 150,000 babies were taken from their mothers during the period as part of the policy, which was then sanctioned by governments, hospitals, churches and charities.

Young mothers were often drugged, sedated and given lactation suppressants to dry up their milk, some were tied to beds while their babies were induced, while other mothers were lied to and told their babies had died.

Premier Barry O’Farrell delivered the formal apology.

“We are sorry for the forced adoptions practices that severed the fundamental, life-giving bonds between a mother and her child,” he told parliament.

“We say sorry for treating you cruelly and insensitively when what you most needed and deserved was care and support.”

The NSWNMA later issued a statement “unreservedly apologising” for the part nurses and midwives played in the “unacceptable policy” through their employment.

“Through such employment, nurses and midwives were intimately involved with the mothers and their newborn sons and daughters, especially at the time of the birth and removal,” the statement read.

“The NSWNMA also apologises for any nurse/midwife behaviour that increased the trauma experienced by any mother as a result of this unacceptable policy.

“The NSWNMA is also very sorry that, while it was not itself involved in such practices and did not actively support such practices, it did not look more closely at the policy at the time and take a vigorous stand against it.”

The union called on other governments, organisations and professions involved in the policy to also issue an apology and demanded the state government deliver widespread assistance to help the mothers, fathers and children subjected to forced adoption.

Southern exposure… get up and go!

Are you ready for a Southern exposure?

It is greatly regretted your substantive position is one of those no longer required here in the <insert branch>. This means that in the near future, you will be offered a voluntary redundancy.

(I understand you have been with the department for <insert timeframe>). You have made a significant contribution to Qld Health and the public sector <insert some examples>.

Consultation about implementation

We are consulting with affected staff and, where relevant, their unions, about the implementation of the changes

We are investigating ways to avoid or minimise the impacts of the changes

We welcome your input into this process and welcome any suggestions you may have

What does this mean?

I realise this might come as a shock and may be difficult for you to digest. I appreciate this news will have a significant impact on you.

Firstly I’d like to explain why you do not have a role in the new structure. Following the <insert how schedule was filled>, it was determined

<you were not the most capable person for the available role. I know you have made a significant contribution to the department and have done some good work, but unfortunately there were other individuals who were deemed to be more suitable>.

Or

<your position no longer is required in the new structure>.

Your options

I would like to ensure you understand your options and obligations.

You will be provided with two options to consider and once the offer is made, you will have 14 days to decide. I’d like to give you more detail now about these options.

Option one:

Your first option is to take a voluntary redundancy which includes a severance payment and an incentive payment.

The severance payment is two weeks pay per year of service in the public service and a proportionate amount for an incomplete year of service paid at your substantive level.

The incentive payment is $6500 or 12 weeks’ pay at your substantive level, whichever is greater.

These payments will be taxed as a bona fide redundancy.

<If relevant: Please note, being a part time employee will mean your entitlement will be calculated accordingly. There is no provision to revert to full time prior to the offer being made as this is regarded as a contrived benefit>

You will also be paid any outstanding recreation leave and long service leave entitlements.

The offer of voluntary redundancy will include an estimate and a validation of your leave and service history. It will also provide information about any overpayment that may be outstanding. A separation date will be also advised.

Option two:

Your second option is to become an ERP, which means you will be given assistance up to a four month period to be placed at level in another vacant role within Qld Health or in another department. We may initiate a review earlier than four months if reasonable placement efforts have been undertaken and a transfer opportunity is unlikely to occur.

If you choose to become an ERP, you will be allocated to the Qld Health Placement Team and they will act as your case manager in this process.

It’s also important to understand a voluntary redundancy payment will not be offered to you at the conclusion of the period, if you have not been successful in finding a vacant position.

If at the end of the period, you have not found a position, a review will be conducted. Where a review determines that reasonable placement efforts have been undertaken and it is not appropriate to continue these efforts, the retrenchment will be considered.

You will be provided with an opportunity to demonstrate why proposed retrenchment is not reasonable, before a final decision is made.

If you do not return the letter accepting a voluntary redundancy within the 14 day period, you will be considered to have elected to become an ERP.

Qld Health support for you at this time

Again I want to reiterate I appreciate this is an incredibly difficult time for you and those around you.

Qld Health is here to support you during this time and I would strongly encourage you to utilise the confidential and free Employee

Assistance Program for counselling and career advice.

It is important to note, this service can only be accessed while you are still employed at Qld Health so I would urge you to contact them as soon as possible. However, if you have accessed these services prior to exiting the department, you are eligible to take advantage of the remaining number of sessions following your departure.

Employee Assistance Program:

1. http://qheps.health.qld.gov.au/eap/home.htm - contact PPC Worldwide on 1300 361 008 (24/7)

2. Statewide Hotline 1800 239 074 (7am – 9pm every day)

To recap and further information

To recap on our conversation today, you now have two options – to either take a voluntary redundancy or become an Employee Requiring Placement.

Following this meeting today, I will set up another face-to-face meeting with you in two days time to check in. This will be an opportunity for you to ask further questions.

I understand this is incredibly tough and you are welcome to take a break for some fresh air or to phone a family member or friend. Please remember you are not the only one being told this news today. Please be mindful of others who are also affected and remember the expectations of the code of conduct.

Do you have any questions?

If you have future questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me.

Thank you for your time today.

The Australian Psychological Society is working to increase the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander psychologists in Australia.

The APS estimates there are only about 50 Indigenous psychologists working across the nation despite the high demand for Indigenous psychology graduates in the health workforce.

APS manager of public interest Heather Gridley said the organisation is taking steps to increase the number of Indigenous psychology students and graduates.

Ms Gridley said there is ample opportunity for Indigenous Australians wanting to forge a career in psychology.

“They are incredibly employable because we have got so few,” she said.

“They will actually �nd themselves in great demand. In so much demand they burn out, so we have to support the very small numbers from that point of view.

“If they can get through the training they can see there’s an opportunity to work in their own community or to work in the mainstream. That will be their choice.

“They will certainly get work. That’s probably the good news for anybody who is thinking of that as a career.”

Asian, Indian and Filipino nurses working in New Zealand often face discrimination from their patients and colleagues, according to the results of a new study.

The New Zealand Nurses Organisation study found 48 per cent of internationally quali�ed nurses (IQNs) encounter racial harassment from patients and a third receive racial harassment from their colleagues.

The study focused on the country’s increasing multi-cultural workforce, where more than a quarter of nurses are now IQNs, and surveyed the views of almost 1300 New Zealand quali�ed nurses (NZQN) and IQNs.

It found NZQNs believe there are shortfalls in some IQNs’ training, cultural awareness and English language skills while NZQNs often witness patients directing racism towards Asian and Indian nurses.

IQNs also reported discrimination and often felt frustrated and disappointed at constrained roles, scopes of practice and career opportunities in New Zealand.

The authors of the report, NZNO researcher Leonie Walker and NZNO nursing policy adviser and researcher Jill Clendon, found:

patients stating they do not want to be cared for by a foreign nurse

working in a position with less scope and responsibility than their previous employment in their home country

non-South African, thought they were working in a lesser role compared with only 3.2 per cent of Indian nurses

underutilised because they were unable to use their skills such as venepuncture, cannulation, epidurals, suturing, treating minor injuries, IV medication, vascular Doppler scans, PEG insertion and anaesthetic technician tasks

at not being able to work as previously, such as running chronic disease clinics or prescribing medication

as health care assistants or care-givers, formed the largest group feeling under-utilised

of Chinese and Indian ethnicity reporting discrimination and racism at work

access to interviews or promotions were linked to ethnicity

communicating with each other in their own languages while at work

discrimination, and expressing support and empathy for IQNs.

The study states IQNs require “signi�cant support” to make a successful transition to New Zealand nursing and it recommended the development of a good practice guide in a bid to help retain IQNs.

A Victorian psychologist fears mental health patients are missing out on invaluable group sessions because many GPs don’t know they exist.

Psychology Melbourne director and principal psychologist Jill Wright said only 2.5 per cent of the 200 GPs the psychology practice surveyed in the past two years were aware their patients are entitled to 10 group sessions as well as their 10 counselling sessions in a calendar year.

“At the moment they are referring them for individual counselling and they are not referring them for anything else,” she said.

“GPs need to say - go and do a couple of classes and see how you feel. It can be a forward step into the whole area.”

Ms Wright said group sessions are often wrongly considered to be group therapy but are actually psycho-education classes covering topics ranging from stress management to preventing self-sabotage, and men, sex and the internet.

“Most people are afraid of group sessions because they think it’s group therapy but that’s old fashioned,” she said.

“Today’s group sessions are psycho-educational and skills training – you leave your personal issues for individual counselling.”

Ms Wright said group classes, which include a PowerPoint presentation, a trained psychologist and an opportunity for questions and answers, offer a range of bene�ts, from enabling people to continue to work on themselves once completing their individual sessions while also helping to free up more time in the individual sessions.

“It’s a really valuable, effective way for people to start working on themselves,” she said.

“A lot of what you talk about in private individual sessions could be covered in group classes.

“It can also accelerate their counselling. Some people get more out of classes than the individual sessions.”

Under the Federal Government’s Better Access initiative, mental health patients receive subsidised access to mental health practitioners through Medicare.

Ms Wright said only a small number of private institutions and hospitals offer the group sessions due to the high work-load involved.

“Not many psychologists bother with them because they are a lot of work to do a group. We are one of the few private practices that offer them,” she said.

“It is such a valuable help to the client.”

Quick and Easy Finance specialises in non-conforming, short term personal loans for repayment over 3-24 months*. A short-term loan means your debt is paid off sooner, and with loans that range from $500-$10,000*, you can afford to pay for the things you’ve always wanted. PLUS, by repaying your loan with Payroll Deduction and by using your unencumbered1 vehicle as security, you can enjoy a discounted installment on your loan.
