Liverpool. Job opportunities

About 70 people attended an open day at Liverpool Hospital that focused on highlighting job opportunities in the healthcare sector for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. Liverpool Hospital acting general manager, Anthony Schembri, said the hospital had an excellent record of employing and retaining Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff but more could be done to increase the number of workers. He said that in 2009 the former Sydney South West Area Health Service set out to recruit, train and retain Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff in health professions, administration, human resources and support roles. "Results so far have been excellent," he said.
