Wellbeing tips
✨ Wellbeing for remote and rural healthcare workers - Working in remote and rural healthcare settings can be rewarding, particularly when you have the opportunity to stretch and expand your capabilities. But remote locations can also present unique job demands and challenges. The Wellbeing for the Bush booklet contains information to support your wellbeing, from managing stress, self-care, workplace relationships and communication to sleep, living and working remotely.
✨ How are you going? Now is a good time to ask yourself how you're going, how work is going and what you can do to replenish your wellbeing, energy levels and engagement with people and things in your daily life. Check in and tap into your self-care awareness today.
✨ Addressing occupational violence and aggression (OVA) - Every worker has the right to feel safe at work. The Victorian Department of Health provides information for health service leaders, managers and staff about how people may react to OVA in the workplace, strategies and services to promote recovery following an incident of OVA, providing support to others, and helpful ways to take care of yourself, at: https://www.health.vic.gov.au/worker-health-wellbeing/post-incident-support.
