LIverpool. City wants more jobs

Liverpool Mayor, Wendy Waller, wants to see more government departments such as Businesslink, Housing NSW and Department of Community Services to move into the city. Ms Waller said Liverpool had about 4500 government employees in the CBD including the hospital, schools, TAFE, DOCs and Housing NSW. The council will write to Premier Barry O'Farrell seeking confirmation of his government's commitment to Liverpool as a regional city. “We need to do more about promoting ourselves as a regional city,” she said.

Liverpool. Job opportunities

About 70 people attended an open day at Liverpool Hospital that focused on highlighting job opportunities in the healthcare sector for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. Liverpool Hospital acting general manager, Anthony Schembri, said the hospital had an excellent record of employing and retaining Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff but more could be done to increase the number of workers. He said that in 2009 the former Sydney South West Area Health Service set out to recruit, train and retain Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff in health professions, administration, human resources and support roles. "Results so far have been excellent," he said.
