So do you want to be a kinder ear in the country?
Let's talk about being a lifeline for the community.
I first started in Warrigal about 20 years ago.
When I first came, I would come down here, see one or two clients and then over time my practise built up.
So I have clients that I've been seeing since that first day that I started here.
Working in primary care allows you to create something of your own.
It also means that I can be flexible in the way I am providing therapies.
That's a major difference between what we can do here in primary care compared to the other services.
Working in a small town allows me to get to know the clients, get to know the culture.
The people in a rural area are very inviting, they're very warm.
We get people from the whole developmental range, so from like 3 or 4 years old all the way up to 95.
We've worked really hard on trying to provide an open door for anyone to come in here.
It allows us to create a welcoming environment so people can just pop in and have a cuppa when they're feeling a bit overwhelmed by the chaos outside.
So I really appreciate that what we're doing here at McDowell House is actually creating a safe place in this community.
Nothing beats making a genuine impact on the community, and primary care lets you do it.
So, do you want to join the team?
