It is an exciting time for the Boorowa Health Service with nurses, Olivia Mills, Lumen Tarun and Chloe Hocking joining the local team in February. Olivia Mills is a first year registered nurse taking part in the Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD) Transition to Professional Practice Program. Olivia grew up in Bathurst and traveled overseas after school before joining the Navy. She completed her Bachelor of Nursing at Charles Sturt University while working as an Assistant in Nursing in a Residential Aged Care Facility. Olivia is excited about the opportunities in rural nursing, “I have enjoyed my first few weeks in Boorowa. Everyone is eager to help me and I have settled in nicely,” she said. Olivia’s goal is to work in the Emergency Department and she is keen to learn as much as she can during the first year of her career. Lumen Tarun is a registered nurse from the Philippines where she worked in a large Emergency Department. Gaining her nursing qualifications in 2012, Lumen migrated to Australia because of the opportunity for professional growth. She feels there is more opportunity in a small facility like Boorowa that empowers Registered Nurses to be strong, independent clinicians and she is keen to learn about all areas of healthcare and expand her knowledge and skills.

A Dunedin doctor accused of killing a teenage girl has been in court to hear lengthy legal arguments about his case. Venod Skantha (31) has pleaded not guilty to the murder of 16-year-old Amber-Rose Rush, who was found dead in her Corstorphine home on February 2 last year. The case has been the subject of several hearings and bail applications, for most of which Skantha has appeared by audiovisual link. Yesterday in the High Court at Dunedin two days of pre-trial arguments began and the defendant – dressed smartly in a pink shirt and dress pants – sat flanked by Corrections officers behind his counsel Jonathan Eaton QC. From the outset, Justice Gerald Nation stressed all discussions would be suppressed to preserve fair-trial rights on behalf of both Crown and defence. His judgements stemming from the hearing, he said, would also be withheld. As well as the murder charge, Skantha has denied a charge of indecent assault and four of threatening to kill.
