Standing alongside people during some of their most challenging moments is all in a day’s work for senior social worker, Madeleine. 🌻

Her first job out of university was with the team at Robina Hospital, and from day one she knew it was where she belonged.

“I found my space here and I haven’t wanted to leave," she said.

“You get to walk alongside people during important moments in their lives, and that’s a really special thing."

Working in collaboration with doctors, nurses and allied health professionals, Madeleine helps patients leave hospital safer, supported and informed.

“Our shared goal is to support patients through their hospital journey and help them leave in a better position than when they came in.”

“When a patient or family thanks you and says you really helped them, that makes it all worth it.” 💛

Gabrielle grew up in Fiji, where her mum worked with the Red Cross.

After experiencing two major cyclones that devastated her community, she saw firsthand the power of people coming together in moments of crisis.

It’s part of what inspired her to become an emergency nurse - something she describes as an 'ecosystem' where everyone works together.

"There’s so much respect for everyone’s role - Doctors, nurses, admin, AINs - we’re all seen equally," Gabrielle said.

"No one is valued above the other. I love that respect element, and that we know if we don’t work together, we won’t get anywhere."

Gabrielle has been with Gold Coast Health for six years (four of those at Robina), and she can’t imagine doing anything else.

"I’m naturally someone who wants to help others and emergency in particular is where I’m really driven," she said.

"Thinking about what I wanted to do with my life, that field of work sparked my enthusiasm. I love the fast‑paced nature of it, the critical thinking. No day is the same."

We 💙 you, Gabrielle!

The spaces we create can play an important role in helping young people feel safe, supported and connected during care. 🤝✨

This National Sorry Day and National Reconciliation Week, we recognise the importance of culturally responsive healthcare environments through spaces like Proxima Child and Youth Mental Health Service (CYMHS), a community-based space supporting young people and families across the Gold Coast. 🌿

Designed with input from staff, clinicians, young people with lived experience, the environment draws inspiration from the Gold Coast’s natural landscapes and incorporates calming spaces, local artwork and youth-friendly design elements that support connection, belonging and wellbeing. 🎨🌊

The project included consideration of culturally responsive design elements through the inclusion of First Nations themes, storytelling and visual art to help create a welcoming environment with strong connection to Country. 🖤💛❤️💚💙

Creating culturally safe and inclusive environments is one way Gold Coast Health is strengthening culturally appropriate care and supporting better health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, aligned with the NSQHS Standards and Gold Coast Health First Nations Health Equity Strategy 👉 https://bit.ly/4wU0Yl3

This year’s National Reconciliation Week theme, All In, reminds us that reconciliation is strengthened through everyday actions.

Take one action today: reflect on how the spaces we create from waiting rooms to clinical environments and conversations can help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples feel safe, respected, connected and welcome during care. Small actions can help build trust, belonging and better health outcomes. First Nations Health equity is everyone’s business. 🤝

Featured artwork by Christine Slabb (2016) depicts “all people near and far, that travel to the coast to gather, meet and share stories".

For Holly, nursing has always been a calling driven by a passion to care for people and make a difference in patients’ lives. ✨

This International Nurses Month, Holly is celebrating the opportunity to help shape the future of nursing through her role as an Entry to Practice Clinical Facilitator, supporting students and newly qualified nurses
as they build confidence and clinical skills.

“To me, being a nurse this month is about the honour of passing the torch,” Holly said.

“I see the future of healthcare in the hands of my students and graduates. I want to nurture their critical thinking and empathy that will inevitably define their careers. My role is to be the steady hand that guides them as they find their own voices as nurses.”

Inspired by the support she received during her own training, Holly is ensuring the next generation of nurses to provide safe and compassionate care to our community.

Chloe's first day as a Registered Nurse involved helping deliver and catching a baby in a hospital carpark.

Eighteen years later and she's still practicing, with the past 10 of those at Robina Hospital.

"When I started nursing, I wasn't sure which area I wanted to work in until I did a clinical placement in emergency," Chloe said.

"I was instantly sold and realised there was no other specialty for me."

Like many team members who choose emergency, Chloe loves the energy and strong sense of camaraderie in the department.

"I consider it a privilege to be a part of a team that helps someone in their moment of crisis," she said.

And we consider it a privilege to work with you, Chloe. 🥰

"Maddie leads with kindness, empathy, and professionalism, creating a supportive and respectful environment for both staff and patients." 💗

This is just a tiny part of why Maddie is our Enrolled Nurse Amy Enderlin Award winner for 2026. 🌟

Always enhancing culture, bringing a positive attitude and being a team player, Maddie truly makes a difference for families and patients.

"I think it's such a privilege to be with someone and their family in their final moments," she said.

"To provide support, comfort, and dignity - to me, that’s the best part of the job. It’s such a gift."

Maddie has been with us for five years, drawn to nursing because of her love of helping people.

"My favourite part is connecting with families and hearing their stories," she said.

"When you listen to them and provide comfort, you can’t help but feel the love when you know you’ve done your best at work."

Congratulations Maddie, you are incredibly deserving of this award. 👏

Angela Boyle’s path to caring for people in our Mental Health Crisis Stabilisation Unit (CSU) may be the most touching tale you read today 💖

“I joined Gold Coast Health as a Payroll Officer in 2016 and struggled with my own mental health during that period,” the Lived Experience (Advanced Peer) Worker recalls.

“I had a team leader who was aware of my struggles and when she saw a job advertised for a Peer Worker, she sent it my way and said, ‘You’d be great at this’. I had no idea what the role was, but the concept resonated with me.

“I fell into this job but I love it.”

That job sees Angela work alongside mental health clinicians and fellow Advanced Peer Workers at the CSU at Robina Hospital, providing people in crisis with support from someone who knows “what it’s like to be on that side of the fence”. 🙏

“To have someone stand in front of them who has experienced their own mental health challenges is massive. They may never have heard of peer workers but when you say ‘I’m here because I’ve been where you are not that long ago’, it helps soften their journey.

“It breaks the stigma that people who present at hospital with mental health issues behave or look a certain way. They also may not initially have a comfort level with a doctor or nurse but we can make the process a little smoother and less daunting.”

Angela sure has come a long way from the payroll office.

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for that team leader supporting me,” she beams.

“She told me I could be anything I wanted and she was right.”
