Orange Sky Australia’s Post

We’re so proud of the incredible collaboration between Orange Sky and our partners - North West Hospital and Health Service, Doomadgee Aboriginal Shire Council, Mornington Shire Council and North-West Queensland Indigenous Community Social Services - that led to this recognition at the National Rural and Remote Health Awards. Partnerships are such an important part of Orange Sky’s mission and we’re incredibly grateful to work alongside dedicated community leaders, local councils, health professionals and organisations who share our belief in connection and impact. This award is a powerful acknowledgement of what’s possible when communities and organisations come together with a shared purpose - to improve health and wellbeing outcomes in some of the most remote parts of Australia.

After many years working in the health sector, I’ve come to understand the value of partnerships and collaboration - and I'm so excited to share our success at last night's National Rural and Remote Health Awards! In a joint submission alongside North West Hospital and Health Service (NWHHS), Doomadgee Aboriginal Shire Council, Mornington Shire Council and North-West Queensland Indigenous Community Social Services, WE WON the category of Rural/Remote Multidisciplinary Collaboration. An incredible acknowledgement of the power of our partnership! The night was a wonderful celebration of all the work happening in the rural and remote health sector, and our shared commitment to improved outcomes. It's truly an honour and privilege to work in collaboration with NWHHS, community controlled or community led partner organisations, incredible employees and the communities themselves that we work alongside. A special thanks to Christine Mann BSW, GAICD, Clare Newton (Exec Director Remote Health) and Mel Riordan. Collaboration isn't just between organisations - it's within Orange Sky Australia too. A special shout out to Morgan Cranch and Luke Miskimmin who have supported these Queensland services in the past few years and to Lucas Patchett OAM for his leadership. There's a long way to go in improving health outcomes, but we are so proud to be making a real impact and I am so grateful for this collaboration. #NRRHA25 #RuralPositive #collaboration #ownershipthroughpartnership

What a fantastic partnership 🙌

It’s no coincidence that many volunteers for Orange Sky Australia are from a healthcare background 🧡
