      Project Administration Assistant

      I was fortunate to be an interim contract Project Administration Officer role at Western Queensland Primary Health Network (WQPHN). I worked within the Practice Capability and Innovation team to ensure the process of getting COVID-19 Vaccines to Western Queensland towns was smooth and functional. Throughout this role, I worked closely with the WQPHN communications team to update the website as COVID-19 information changed and became relevant. Originally my role was only supposed to last three weeks but here I am three months later with much greater knowledge of rural health, COVID-19 vaccines and website programs. Show less
