A snapshot of some of our incredible staff and programs

Providing a supportive workplace for our staff is always an important priority. We employ over 2,500 talented staff who go above and beyond to deliver high-quality essential programs and services, including our ongoing response to the pandemic and rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. In fact, we have continue to deliver over 86 per cent of our programs and services throughout COVID-19. I am incredibly proud and thankful for the hard work done by all our staff.
