Since 2002, we have worked alongside general practice and residential aged care facility (RACF) staff to deliver the best quality health care to our Western Sydney community. We recognise the challenges staff have faced in their role as primary care providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although our focus is on building healthier communities, the health of our general practice and RACF staff is of utmost importance.
We are providing free, exclusive access to our Benestar Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to general practice and RACF staff, and their immediate families. Benestar is the leading Wellbeing and EAP provider in Australia and New Zealand. Working in partnership with several organisations, the Benestar EAP aims to support people in all aspects of their life to improve their productivity and satisfaction in their workplace, and their lives.
Some benefits of the program include:
- Staff members can take greater accountability for their health and wellbeing
- Access to online resources is available anywhere and anytime
- Increased health, happiness and life satisfaction
- Specialised, professional coaches are available to provide confidential support in all aspects of life is available (mind, health, work, family, wellbeing, life, and finances)
