Invest in your team's wellbeing
The need to prioritise wellbeing as a core way in which we work and live is relevant now more than ever as healthcare workers report experiencing increasing levels of anxiety and burnout with the flow‑on effect adversely impacting families and life outside of work.
Flourish with a happier team and boost retention!
Across Australia, untreated mental health symptoms have led to health professionals having a 30% higher risk of suicide than people in other occupations. One‑fifth of Australia’s registered nurses say they intend to leave their current role in the next year.
For healthcare organisations, high employee turnover rates are a burden on finances and resources. Turnover costs include the expense of recruiting, hiring, and training new employees. There’s also the cost of reduced productivity as managers shift much of their attention to hiring and as new hires get up to speed. A less tangible, but still significant turnover cost is lower employee morale as those who remain work harder to fill gaps.
Creating positive practice environments enhances healthcare workers retention and facilitates quality patient care.
Everyone ‘fills their cup’ in different ways. While one person may benefit from an online mindfulness or mental fitness training session, another may prefer a guided nature walk or need to get the endorphins flowing with a boot‑camp on the beach. One team member may feel the love with a ‘pick me up’ self‑care package, and another ‑ a simple break from cooking.

A 'Find Your Centre' Half Day Retreat is a 4-5 hour break out of your everyday environment to balance your energy, find more inner peace and stillness in your everyday life with different experiences and modalities to de-stress, reflect, and reset your mind and body.
This 1 hour group nature therapy session is an opportunity to stay grounded and centred in a busier world. Even though work life balance is something we all strive for, it takes effort and commitment to find and maintain this balance. Experience a deeper connection with nature in a forest or by the ocean and relax your mind and body. These non-clinical sessions occur in beautiful and quiet surrounds. These peaceful sessions will immerse you in nature with a slow mindful wander, and ‘invitations’ to connect deeply with nature, ending with an intimate tea ceremony. Facilitated by Lisa Murphy, Big Heart Adventures. Can be delivered online or in-person.

“ The flow‑on effect of strengthening an aged care worker’s mental fitness is that it can also improve the quality of resident care they deliver, boost morale, and improve retention rates. We have chosen to partner with Healthcare Heartbeat to deliver Altaira Wellness Grants and other wellbeing initiatives to enable our nursing cohort to develop preventative measures and tools that will help them over the long‑term." ”
“Seeing first‑hand how healthcare and emergency services workers display care and professionalism is always an inspiration, but it has been an exceptionally difficult few years and we are all feeling the impact far and wide. This is an opportunity to give back to healthcare workers across Australia, and encourage others to also invest into the mental fitness and wellbeing of this valuable workforce.”
