Message from the chief executive Adjunct Professor Anthony M. Schembri AM
We recently wrapped up the 2025 People Matter Employee Survey, and I would like to thank all staff members who took the time to share their feedback about what it’s like to work at the district. We had more participants this year than the previous year which was incredibly pleasing and I would to thank all the survey’s champions across the district for helping your peers have their say. Your input from this survey will be invaluable as we continue to strive to make NSLHD a great place to work and thrive. I look forward to sharing the results in the coming weeks to staff and seeing what’s going well and where we can improve. We recently celebrated the district’s 2025 Mental Health Drug and Alcohol awards, and it was fantastic to see the workforce come together to celebrate a year of outstanding achievements and recognise standout staff members and teams. Thank you to all of our MHDA staff across the district for your tireless contributions throughout the year. The care and compassion you provide to some of our community’s most vulnerable members does not go unnoticed, and I hope you all found a moment to celebrate your hard work.
Congratulations to the Northern Sydney Home Nursing Service on celebrating 125 years of service to the community. This major milestone has provided an opportunity for us to look back to the service’s early days, when it was founded in 1900 by the Anglican Christian Social Union to provide nursing care for the sick in their homes. As we celebrate the past and look towards the future, models of care in the home will continue to evolve and be ever-present in our health service. Advances in technology, new approaches to chronic disease management, and an increased focus on patient-centred care will all play a role in shaping how community nursing continues to deliver this essential service. I would like to thank all our community nursing staff members, both past and present, for the care you provide for our patients and their loved ones in often very personal settings where they need it most.
Warm regards,
Adjunct Professor Anthony M. Schembri AM Chief Executive Northern Sydney Local Health District
