Nature at Work: Unlocking Your Vitality in Your Workplace

As part of Mental Health Month and this year’s theme, Taking steps on your wellbeing journey, NatureFix partnered with Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD) to deliver a webinar exploring how nature can strengthen wellbeing, recovery, and care across healthcare settings.

The webinar highlights how every wellness program and recovery process can become more effective and meaningful when nature is intentionally woven in. Together, NatureFix and NSLHD showcase how NatureFix Wellness Zones and Trails across NSLHD campuses are supporting staff, patients, consumers, carers, and the health of our planet.

This session acknowledges that working in healthcare is both rewarding and demanding, with staff often carrying the greatest load. Here NatureFix presents a practical, and evidence-informed approach to bringing nature’s proven health benefits into hospital environments, supporting staff to recharge, build resilience, and fostering healthier, more supportive workplaces.

Participants learned how the NatureFix app supports connection to Country, featuring cultural content narrated by a local Elder. These bespoke audio recordings help users learn about the traditional custodians of NSLHD sites, fostering deeper respect, understanding, and celebration of Aboriginal culture.

The webinar also highlights how NatureFix Wellness Zones are being used as go-to places for calm, and therapeutic restoration as part of a nature prescriptions now being embedded into care, at Macquarie Hospital. This 12 week pilot program demonstrates how time in nature can become part of everyday hospital practice.
