#WeAreNorthern

Meet Tanya Rando, OHS and Injury Management Administration Advisor, Northern Health.

Q: Firstly, what is your coffee order?

I have discovered, almond dirty chai latte.

 Q: Tell us about your Northern Health journey? 

I started at PANCH back in 1996, working in the project team to help build Northern Health. This was a two-week project and I stayed for 18 years. In that time, I have worked in many areas of the hospital from Outpatients department, Ward Clerking, Health Information Services department, Allied Health department and many other areas. With a heavy heart I left Northern Health to work at Victoria Police in their Human Resources department – Payroll Services and WorkCover.

The call was still in my heart to come back home – Northern Health. This was realised as back in January 2019 as I was hired back at Northern Health in the Payroll Department. The payroll services were brought back inhouse (from Melbourne Health) and I worked closely with the team to transition this process across.

Currently I am working within the OHS Wellbeing team as an OHS/Injury Management Administration Advisor and I love it.

 Q: What is your greatest achievement since working here?

My greatest achievement is coming back to Northern Health with new knowledge I achieved whilst working at Victoria Police. This has helped me work with other departments in health.

 Q: How would you describe Northern Health in one sentence?

How much our health services have grown since we have opened the doors to service our community.

 Q: Are you a travel bug? Any destinations on your wish list?

I love to travel, I would anywhere in the world as long as I have my family with me. Italy and Malta have always been on my wish list.
