Gratitude for service: Port Macquarie Base Hospital Acting General Manager Jo Campbell, Deputy Director of Nursing & Midwifery Sharon Gouck, Nursing Manager Judith Galloway.

Dedicated service recognised at Port Macquarie Base Hospital

Aug 12, 2024

On Friday 26 July staff from Port Macquarie Base Hospital gathered in the Atrium for the Staff Service Awards, presented by Acting General Manager, Jo Campbell.

Five staff members received service pins recognising a combined total of more than 155 years of dedication to the NSW health service.

Recognition of Service pins acknowledges continuous service greater than 10 years (in five-year increments).

Earning these milestone achievements were Dr Dawn Martin, Dr Bruce Hodge, Sharon Gouck, Judith Galloway, and Leanne Parsons.

Staff from across the hospital congratulated their colleagues at a celebratory afternoon tea.

All permanent, temporary, and casual staff with more than 10 years of continuous service, are eligible for a Recognition of Service pin.

At the end of each year, the service data is collated and pins are awarded the following year to those with 10, 15, 20, 25 (etc) years of continuous service to NSW Health.

Despite best efforts, sometimes the data used for Service Awards can contain errors. You can check your ‘Years of Service History’ in Stafflink. If you believe your information is incorrect, lodge a ticket in SARA for a General HR Enquiry.

If anyone did not receive a Recognition of Service pin and should have been included, the contact point for pursuing the recognition award is the Organisational Development team.

There is a query form on the Reward and Recognition Intranet Page or staff can email the team directly at MNCLHD-CultureTransformation@health.nsw.gov.au.
