It’s been a while since you’ve heard from us - we’re the RANs remote area nurses behind this national push for safe working conditions for rural /remote health providers. Today marks 1 year since our friend, and well respected colleague Gayle Woodford was horrifically raped and murdered on the job in remote SA. Like many of us, Gayle was a nurse, working Alone on Call. Gayle was abducted when answering an after hours emergency call out, and later found dead in a shallow grave in the APY Lands, South Australia. Her case has drawn a national spotlight to the unsafe working conditions faced by nurses, midwives and Aboriginal Health Practitioners, working in remote and regional Australia. We need to abolish single nurse posts and lone call outs in rural and remote communities in Australia. We need to make it mandatory for two responders to attend all after hours call outs across Australia. The Government funded a report into safety and security that was published in January 17, but it has yet to be actioned. To spread the message and galvanise support for important occupational safety and security workplace reform, we are requesting members share their message of support across their workplace and across social media. We invite you to help us in commemorating Gayle by changing your Face Book profile pictures by clicking on this link - http://bit.ly/2oaHvJS - and promoting the slogan # Gayleslaw Never Alone. Add a personal message to Gayle and her family if you like. We want Gayle and her family to feel embraced by the sea of changed profile pics and to know we stand with them in their grief and solidarity of Gayle’s ultimate sacrifice to the job she loved. Gayle will not be forgotten as we strive to ensure her tragic passing will not be in vain. We want #Gayleslaw Never Alone implemented in the workplace Nationally, as reform to reduce the likelihood of another horrific incident, such as the tragic loss of Gayle Woodford. Ps this is the tribute video we made in memory of Gayle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM_eKJDCTKw
