In 2010 I was offered a new role at Health Support Services, an agency of the NSW Health Department. It provides support services to NSW hospitals such as food, linen, payroll, cleaning, warehousing, IT support – basically all the boring stuff that goes on in the background but is essential to running of a state-wide health service. Nurses like to get paid, patients like to eat, and no one likes to get infections from drug-resistant superbugs.
The position was to establish a graphic design and print management department as part of the Communications, Events and Web Design teams, to design collateral for the various programs and departments of HSS and develop a branding style guide for the whole organisation.
The Aboriginal Health Awards was one of the first events I designed for. The event awarded projects that had made a significant impact on Aboriginal health and featured a number of categories. I designed the look for the 2010 and the 2012 AHA events using the pre-existing event logo and developed all the required collateral – guidebook, entry forms, web banners and other online assets, signage, certificates and invitations.
