MEET THE TEAM- KAYLIE

As the Coordinator of External Communications at Kambu Health, Kaylie is responsible for anything related to Social Media, creating any marketing items, external communications with other organisations and community, and finding new ways to engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and the broader Ipswich community. You may see Kaylie taking photos at Kambu Health events, or out in the community building partnerships.

Whatโ€™s your go-to productivity hack?
I keep a running list of everything I need to do, and then move them to a done list underneath when I complete them. I also prioritise my to do list to make sure the most pressing items get done first. I also always have music playing to help keep me going.

Whatโ€™s something youโ€™re proud of?
I'm proud of my work ethic, and also my play ethic. I am also proud of myself for working to figure out who I am and what is important to me in life.

Who inspires you?
My kids. They remind me what actually matters in life. I love seeing them figure out who they are, and be kind to those around them. They are also so full of wonder, and it is a great reminder of how I can view life.

What did you want to be as a kid?
I think the better questions is what didn't I want to be! My top favourites tended to be a marine biologist or a vet.

What are you listening to right now?
Rosalia, Noah Kahn, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and always crime podcasts.

What are you binge-watching?
The Better Sister, and a handful of crime series.

Why do you like working at Kambu Health?
I enjoy working for an organisation whose sole purpose is to improve the lives of marginalised people, and to use culturally appropriate and respectful practices throughout the process. It is also great to work for an organisation that is supportive and open to change. Lastly, a huge highlight of my job is being able to meet mob and get to know the Kambu Health community.

On Wednesday our Elders gathered at Wilson Lane for a deadly day of Arts and Crafts ๐ŸŽจโœ‚๏ธ

Creativity was flowing, and there were plenty of surprises as our Elders got stuck into painting and jewellery making. The talent in the room was something special โœจ

By the end of the session, we had some amazing creations, including:
โ€ข Bracelets and earrings
โ€ข Necklaces
โ€ข Dreamcatchers
โ€ข Wall hangings
โ€ข Fridge magnets

Music played throughout the day, setting a relaxed vibe while everyone enjoyed some nibblies โ€” fresh fruit platters, biscuits and dip, with cold fruit juice and water to keep cool ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ’ง

Lunch was shared together, with rolls filled with ham, chicken, and silverside, topped with cheese, salad, pineapple, and donโ€™t forget the mayonnaise!

There was plenty of laughter, yarns, and connection keeping minds active and spirits strong. As the saying goes: โ€œThe greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.โ€ โ€“ Henry Ford
