Staffing a Hot Topic for the WBN Contributed by Caroline Robinson

Attracting, retaining and managing employees was the focus for two recent Wheatbelt Business Network (WBN) events, a direct request from members who were finding this area of their business difficult.

“In tight labour markets such as the regions, finding and keeping staff can be difficult” said Caroline Robinson, Executive Officer of the WBN.

Pauline Tarrant a human resources specialist who previously held positions with IKEA and Brownes Dairy shared her ideas with businesses in Kulin (Pauline Tarrant and Carlee Bradford of Kulin mitre 10 pictured) and Corrigin last week.

“Pauline shared simple tips like being direct in your job adverts, selling the lifestyle of the region with the job, having another local business owner in on job interviews so you can get a second opinion and adding particular points to position descriptions so that employees are aware of the expectations of employers” said Caroline

Businesses were also made aware of the Small Business Dismissal Code from Fair Work and were provided with 10 creative tips for hiring an employee.

In Kellerberrin, the Kellerberrin Co-op which will be 100yrs strong in 2017 hosted the WBN and Kellerberrin Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours.

Linda Taylor, Co-op Manager shared an insight into the business and highlighted her role as one of only a few female Co-op managers in the State and also Kate Cole, as female

Media Release

Local government authorities are now able to access

funding to install and upgrade Closed Circuit Television

(CCTV) cameras and systems through the $5 million State

CCTV Strategy Infrastructure Fund.

Member for Wagin Terry Waldron MLA encouraged local

governments in the Wagin electorate to apply for the

funding to help deter, prevent, and solve crimes in

regional communities.

“The funding will allow local governments to install new

CCTV cameras and systems or upgrade and replace their

current systems with improved technology,” Mr Waldron

said.

“Installation of CCTVs can make a significant contribution

to preventing, deterring and solving crimes, giving police

and emergency services access to live footage during

crimes or emergencies.”

A WA Police project team will provide local governments

with assistance to ensure that existing and proposed CCTV

infrastructure can operate with the future State CCTV

network.

Local police are also available to support and assist local

governments with the planning and development of their

submissions to ensure the CCTV systems are put to the

best use in crime hot-spots.

“Local police are our best resource when it comes to local

crime hot spots, and their expert knowledge will ensure

CCTV is set up in the best locations to deal with offensive

and criminal behaviour,” Mr Waldron said.

“It can also be an important tool during emergency

situations, including car crashes, house and bush fires and

other public safety incidents.

“The State CCTV Network will integrate public and private CCTV

networks to not only prevent crime, but to better respond in an

emergency situation.”

Applications close at 5pm on Friday, December 18, 2015.

More information may be found at

www.police.wa.gov.au/cctv

CCTV funding now available for local councils

Fiona Bush from WA Primary Health Alliance, Wheatbelt shared ideas on how to have a healthy workplace and workforce, indicating that small improvements like having a fruit bowl in the staff room, holding walking staff meetings and a choice of light and full strength alcohol and non alcohol drinks at upcoming Christmas parties can make a difference to staff productivity.

Kellerberrin businesses also informally discussed human resources and marketing ideas.

Media Release

Member for the Agricultural Region, Martin Aldridge MLC,

has indicated his intent to move amendments to the State

Government’s Perth Market (Disposal) Bill 2015 before the

Bill proceeds through the Upper House.

The Perth Market (Disposal) Bill 2015 was debated for the

first time in the Legislative Council last week and seeks to

sell Market City in Canning Vale.

Mr Aldridge said he was left with several areas of concern

after seeing the Bill – particularly the lack of transparency

measures.

“The State only gets to sell an asset once and we must

ensure that we do everything we can to ensure it is done

appropriately,” he said.

“We need to ensure there are sufficient protections in

place for growers and wholesalers to transition to private

ownership.”

Mr Aldridge highlighted several areas of contention with

the bill, including:

Terms of the sale are not included in the legislation, meaning the Parliament does not have oversight of the sale;

Key market control measures are not included in the

legislation, and as such the Minister of the day would have the ability to change measures without consulting the Parliament; and

There are no market controls to ensure the renewal of leases at Market City are done on a fair commercial terms.

Mr Aldridge drew comparisons between the sale of the

Perth Market and the long-term lease of the State’s rail

network, which for more than a decade operated under a

confidential contract of sale.

“The Economics and Industry Standing Committee only 12

months ago reported that the State must learn from that

experience and ensure that the sale of assets, especially

monopolies have adequate regulatory controls,” Mr

Aldridge said.

“Parliament needs to have oversight of the sale to ensure

stakeholders are prepared for change and can continue to

operate in a new environment.

“If there is a logical reason to vary the terms on which the

sale of this asset is conducted, the Minister should have to

come back to the Parliament and ultimately convince the

people of Western Australia of the respective merits.”

Mr Aldridge has given notice of amendments which will be

considered later this week.

Media Release

Central Wheatbelt residents will soon have access to

better health care at the Goomalling Hospital and the

Beverley Health Service, thanks to the Royalties for

Regions funded Southern Inland Health Initiative (SIHI).

Member for Central Wheatbelt, Mia Davies MLA,

welcomed the announcement by WA Country Health

Services that design documents for both health centres

are currently being finalised.

“While both health centres will be receiving a suite of

upgrades, a major focus will be on improving and

expanding the emergency departments,” Ms Davies said.

“The Goomalling Hospital emergency department will be

expanded, giving health workers more room to move, and

a new triage area will be added, where patients can be

assessed when they first present to emergency.”

Other upgrades in Goomalling will include a new

resuscitation and treatment bay, a new disabled access

toilet in the emergency department waiting room, a

renovated kitchen, and improved storage for medical

supplies.

The Goomalling Hospital will be re-named the Goomalling

Health Service once the refurbishment is complete to

better reflect its role in the community.

Member for the Agricultural Region and member of the

SIHI Governance Group, Martin Aldridge MLC, said the

Beverley Health Service would receive a larger emergency

department and new consulting rooms.

“The number of consulting rooms will increase from one

to three, and they will all have access to the Emergency

Telehealth Service (ETS) allowing regional patients to

access specialist medical treatment in the city,” Mr

Aldridge said.

“The ETS being rolled out to hospitals and health centres

across the State, giving regional clinicians immediate

access to specialists via high-definition video-conferencing

equipment to provide better care for critically ill and

injured patients.”

The Beverley Health Service is also set to receive upgrades

to the staff station and clean utility areas, a modified

ambulance entrance, an upgraded kitchen, improved

security and a new meeting room.

Ms Davies said it was an “exciting development” for the

local communities.

“The people of Goomalling and Beverley can look forward

to having better access to health services in the

Wheatbelt,” Ms Davies said.

The next stage of the project, the building tender, is about

to get underway, with construction expected to start by

mid-2016.

The SIHI is delivering $565 million through Royalties for

Regions to improve medical services in the State’s south.

In the Wheatbelt, the Merredin, Northam and Narrogin

hospitals are being redeveloped, along with 23 smaller

hospitals and health centres in the region.

Media Release

The WA Electoral Commission (WAEC) has today released the electorate boundaries for the 2017 State election.

Local Member Hon Mia Davies MLA said the new electorate of Central Wheatbelt was slightly different to the original proposal by the WAEC.

“The Commissioners have considered the feedback and objections submitted during the consultation phase and have adjusted the boundaries accordingly,” Ms Davies said.

The electorate will now include the Shires of Yilgarn, Westonia, Pingelly, Wandering and Boddington in addition to those Shires that already constitute Central Wheatbelt.

“The original proposal from the Commissioners moved Wongan-Ballidu, Dowerin, Koorda and Goomalling into the electorate of Moore,” Ms Davies said.

“On advice and feedback from these communities and others who made submissions the Commissioners accepted that they have more in common and are better connected to the other communities in Central Wheatbelt.”

The current electorate is 62,363 square kilometres and

encompasses 24,962 voters. The new electorate will be 101,240 square kilometres and encompass 27,019 voters.

Ms Davies said The Nationals WA MPs were used to covering large distances and serving vast electorates.

“What is most concerning is the loss of an entire country electorate, and the creation of a new metropolitan electorate,” she said.

“Our Leader, Terry Redman, has already flagged that we’d be looking to make changes to the legislation that determines how many seats there can be in State Parliament to ensure we don’t see further erosion of regional representation.

“Results like this are just another reminder of why it’s so important for regional people to vote as a block for The Nationals to deal themselves into the decision making with the balance of power in the Parliament.

“In the interim, I look forward to continuing to work hard for those communities in my current electorate, and introducing myself to those that will be part of the new electorate.”

Media Release

Federal Member for O’Connor Rick Wilson MP has

welcomed sweeping changes planned for mental health

services, which will change the face of mental health

delivery across the country.

Mr Wilson said the Mental Health Reform Package sets

out bold reforms to be phased in over the next three

years, with the Country WA Primary Health Network

(PHN) at the forefront of planning and commissioning

better care.

The key reform will see people with severe and complex

mental illness benefiting from new funding approaches to

co-ordinating and delivering services, providing choice and

control for people with mental illness.

“The Country WA PHN will be in charge of commissioning

the mental health services they consider necessary and

appropriate in the area to meet our specific local needs,”

Mr Wilson said.

“This is all about recognising that with mental health or

illness, not everyone is the same and may need varying

levels of care or treatment depending on how their

condition is assessed.

Included in the reforms is a new approach to suicide

prevention, a single telephone and digital gateway to find

the mental health advice or service needed along with

specific care reforms focussed on children and indigenous

Australians.

“I have already started introducing the PHN regional

managers to health service providers and constituents at

forums I’ve recently held,” Mr Wilson said.

“I look forward to continuing to work with them directly

to make a real difference at the grassroots level.”

Each year, up to 4 million Australians suffer some form of

mental health issue, making it the third most significant

chronic condition in the country, after cancer and

cardiovascular disease.

Secondary Specialist Program

Students and staff were pleased to welcome Maddie,

Declan, Damon and Angela, all students from the

University of Western Australia, to school to work with

groups of our secondary students last week. Maddie, who

is also Mr Granger’s daughter, worked with a group of

Damon worked with students to design and build gliders

based on his studies of aeronautics,

Declan worked with a group to

produce a high-quality music video

whilst Angela worked with a group of students on a

practical food production project.

This new link with UWA is an exciting prospect, which

Kulin Retirement Homes morning tea

Contributed by Marie Martin

Thank you to the retirement homes committee and Kulin

CRC for putting on a lovely morning tea which enticed

residents of the village to come out into the spring

sunshine to share some delicious Kulinary Kreations treats

and a cuppa.

The committee opened one of the units to allow people

the opportunity to walk through and see the amazing

renovations that have been completed. The current

resident of this unit gave some very positive feedback on

the design of the unit with everyone agreeing that this

was an ideal unit for a single person.

The gardens throughout the village were praised for being

so neat and tidy with an easy care design that allowed

unhampered access and good visibility to all units.

These morning teas will continue into 2016 are open to

any community member wanting to find out about

retirement options in Kulin. No need to RSVP just look out

for the next date advertised in the Kulin Update in

February 2016. We would love to see you there!

Cheerios Christmas trees

Ingredients 3 cups marshmallows 3 tbsp butter Green food colouring 3 cups Cheerios Mini M&M’s (just the red and green ones) Jaffas Canola spray

Method In a bowl, place the marshmallows and butter together and melt in the micowave on high for 40 seconds. Mix well with a spoon. Add green food colouring until you have the colour you like. Pour Cheerios into the marshmallow mix and stir well to coat. Leave to cool until the mixture becomes tacky. You may need to put it in the fridge if it is a warm day. Cover a tray with baking paper. Spray your hands with canola spray and shape the Cheerios mixture into cones and place on the tray. Remove and decorate with red and green M&M's and place a Jaffa on top. The trees will still be sticky enough for the decorations to adhere, but you may need to use a little icing to stick the Jaffa on. I used a tube of ready-made writing icing. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.
