Nice to meet you - I'm Kate, Co-director of Get Your Health Promotion.
I'm an Occupational Therapist, Workforce Development Officer and Project Manager with a love for developing early-career clinicians. I graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy in 2011, and since then have worked in regional and metropolitan hospitals in Queensland, overseas in Bangladesh and the United Kingdom, and with the World Health Organization in Switzerland.
I've studied a Dual Masters in Healthcare Management and International Public Health, as well as a Graduate Certificate in Clinical Redesign. More recently, I've been able to present my work in implementing systems thinking while working towards interprofessional culture at international conferences.
I'm someone who loves to keep my calendar full of family and friends, team sport, and running, and in my downtime I cross-stitch and hang out with my Golden Retriever, Barkley.
Hi!
I'm Benita, the other founding half of Get Your Health Promotion.
I'm a Consultant Pharmacist specialising in Medication Safety and Pain Management and have worked in management, digital health implementation, emergency and surgery across Queensland.
I completed my Bachelor of Pharmacy at the University of Queensland in 2012, and have since completed a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy, Graduate Certificate in Pain Management and most recently completed my Masters by research (MPhil).
I was also the Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia Early Career Pharmacist of the Year in 2022 following a nomination from some very generous colleagues.
In my spare time, I like to read, bushwalk, and spend time with my family ... which includes two super cute labradoodles, Tucker and Daisy!
You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.
We made a lot of goofs in applications and interviews over the years, and generously been given pearls of feedback that we wish we had earlier in our career.
We also know a lot of folks who are outstanding clinicians and colleagues who feel like they flop in interviews and that nerves or technique are holding them back. Sometimes, it's pot luck whether you get the constructive feedback you need to help take the next step in your career.
We hope that distilling down our experiences we can offer an accessible way to help you get your health promotion, sooner.
Kate and Benita have a wealth of experience as both interviewees and interviewers for many healthcare roles over the last decade.
We've both dedicated a lot of of our personal and professional development to building the skills and approaches to progress our careers, and deliver the best care to our patients and support to our colleagues. We have been able to reach senior positions where we enjoy challenging and rewarding roles with a lot of variety!
Together, we have a broad understanding of Allied Health and the healthcare system and a genuine investment in seeing talented early-career clinicians thrive and succeed in delivering outstanding care.
We don't want you to feel like you're in a rush or needing to 'hustle' - that's not the aim of Get My Health Promotion.
The aim is to be able to showcase your fabulous clinical skills without the hoops and hurdles of job applications and interviews holding you back.
