Today we’re proud to celebrate Thank an Orderly Day - a moment to recognise the dedication, compassion, and hard work of our Orderlies, who are often described as the backbone of our hospitals.

Orderlies play a vital role in keeping our healthcare system running smoothly. From transporting patients and equipment to providing essential support to clinical teams, their work often happens behind the scenes - but it never goes unnoticed.
To mark the occasion, we spoke with Cal Smith and Jyotika Dutt, who shared what they love about their roles and the journeys that led them to become Orderlies. Their stories highlight the passion and purpose that drive this incredible workforce.

Take a moment today to thank an Orderly - a simple gesture that means a lot!

Cal Smith recently joined the Orderlies team after making a career change.

“In my last job, I worked with staff from a variety of services, which gave me insight into the work Orderlies do. I saw it as a great stepping stone for my career,” Cal says.

“What I enjoy most is the constant movement - we’re always on the go and never in one place for too long. I’ve been in the role for nearly three months now and I’m averaging between 20 - 25,000 steps a day!”

If you're heading to the Pacific Islands, take extra care - dengue fever cases are soaring, with Samoa reporting over 2,000 cases since April.

New Zealand has seen a sharp rise in travellers returning with dengue, especially from Samoa. In Auckland alone, July saw 34 confirmed cases - up from just 5 last year.

Planning a trip? Protect yourself:
✅ Wear light-coloured, long-sleeve clothing
✅ Use insect repellent with less than 35% DEET
✅ Avoid swampy areas or standing water
✅ Sleep under mosquito nets or in screened rooms

Older adults and young children are especially at risk of severe illness. Stay safe and follow local health advice.
