Evidence-based treatment should be for every body, which is why we are pleased to announce that UrgoStart Plus Border now comes in a variety of new shapes, including 10x12cm, 13x13cm, and 17x20cm.

We’re Officially a Great Place to Work®!

Posted on by George Mackie

We’re proud to announce that we’ve been accredited as a Great Place to Work®, a globally recognised certification that celebrates exceptional workplace culture.

This achievement is especially meaningful because it’s based entirely on feedback from our people.  It reflects a shared understanding of our Mission of Healing People Because We Care; care that extends not only to our patients and their caregivers, but also to our people and the planet.

 

At the heart of this recognition are our core values, which guide everything we do:

  • Learning Organisation – we continuously look for ways to learn and improve, embracing curiosity and growth.

  • Winning Mindset – we approach challenges with a ‘go above and beyond’ attitude, driven by enthusiasm and purpose.

  • Engaged Teams – we are united by our mission, working together to make a meaningful impact every day.

 

These values are underpinned by Honesty and Integrity, which are not just words, they are lived and felt by every employee across our organisation.  This accreditation confirms that our culture is one where people feel safe, supported, and inspired to be their best.

We’re proud of this milestone and remain committed to continue building on this success together, striving to be an even greater place to work, where everyone can continue to thrive and feel proud of the difference they make.
