Kempsey hospital team celebrates Tayla’s achievement
Dec 14, 2023A celebration was held in the Wutu Room at Kempsey District Hospital recently to recognise and celebrate the achievements of Tayla Hiscock.
Tayla has completed her Mid North Coast Local Health District Elsa Dixon Aboriginal school-based traineeship, achieving a Certificate III in Health Service Assistant.
Tayla, who earlier this year was awarded the North Coast School-based Apprentice/Trainee of the year, has displayed outstanding personal commitment, self-determination, and enthusiasm for learning in the health environment.
During her two-year journey, Tayla has become a much valued and respected member of the KDH family.
Armed with the skills she has developed and her easy, caring, empathetic nature, Tayla has a bright, successful future ahead of her.
The Department of Education-funded program, named in honour of prominent Aboriginal activist Elsa Dixon, is part of the District’s commitment to delivering training for Aboriginal students.
The Elsa Dixon program in MNCLHD aims to promote workforce diversity and innovation and improve health outcomes for people by building the Aboriginal workforce to support a better patient experience.
