At Greencross Subiaco, we’ve built a culture around clear communication, shared responsibility, and stepping up for each other, clinically and personally.

How we support our team (in real ways) We show up for each other Support here isn’t just talked about, it’s built into how we work: Clear, consistent communication with strong notes and handovers Team members jumping in to help without being asked Space to speak up when you’re stretched, and a team that responds Time taken to debrief after tough cases Outside the clinic, many of us also enjoy spending time together socially, whether that’s casual weekend catch‑ups, shared meals, or just reconnecting outside of scrubs. It’s never expected, but it’s a big part of why the team feels so connected. You’re backed in complex and demanding cases Our team is confident managing complex procedures, including recent mast cell tumour removals with skin‑flap reconstruction. Nurses are actively involved in: Surgical support Complex wound management Post‑operative care and follow‑up Learning is shared openly, and nurses with additional experience and training support others — you’re never expected to “just cope” on your own. Stress‑free care is a shared priority We actively use stress‑free handling protocols and adjust schedules where possible to support both patients and clients. This results in: Calmer patients Less emotional fatigue for the team Strong, long‑term client relationships Pressure is shared, not absorbed by one person.
