🎉 Celebrating 5 Years of Cathy McMenamin at Red Earth Health Solutions! 🎉

Today we celebrate an incredible milestone for one of the true personalities of the REHS team — Cathy McMenamin reaching her 5-year anniversary with Red Earth Health Solutions! 🥂

From the moment Cathy walks into the office, you know about it… usually thanks to that unmistakable crazy Irish accent echoing down the hallway 😂☘️

Over the last five years, Cathy has become the heart and soul of our people and culture space — bringing energy, laughter, support, and plenty of craic to the workplace every single day. Whether she’s helping staff navigate all things HR, checking in on the team, or lifting spirits with her happy and bubbly personality, Cathy has a way of making everyone feel welcome and valued.

As our unofficial “People Ambassador”, Cathy brings more than just HR knowledge to the business — she brings warmth, connection, humour, and a genuine care for our people that makes REHS what it is today.

Thank you Cathy for five amazing years of dedication, laughs, support, and keeping us all entertained along the way. We honestly wouldn’t have it any other way 💙

Happy 5 Years, Cathy! 🎉

🎉 Celebrating our amazing medical team. 🩺

Taking a moment to acknowledge 👏 our team in the afterglow of International Nurses’ Day, REHS proudly recognises and thanks our incredible medical team for their continued hard work, professionalism, compassion, and unwavering dedication to the roles they undertake each and every day.

While International Nurses’ Day specifically acknowledges our nurses and the remarkable contribution they make to healthcare across the world, we also want to recognise the broader REHS medical family — our Paramedics👏 , Medical Emergency Officers👏 , and Health and Injury Management, Allied Health support teams👏 — who continue to deliver outstanding patient care and management in some of the most remote and rural environments across Australia, along with navigating some of the most challenging and complex situations within the metro area.

Beyond the workplace, many of our team members generously volunteer their time in the desert to support community engagement activities, continue to educate and mentor others through their demonstrated values and behaviours, and consistently show care, resilience, and professionalism in everything they do.

You are genuinely amazing and gifted humans, and your contribution to REHS, our clients, communities, and each other does not go unnoticed. We are incredibly proud and truly grateful to have such an exceptional team standing behind the REHS name.

Thank you for all that you do — today and every day. 💓

Reflection on International Women's Day - Balance the Scales

Taking a moment to pause and reflect on what has been a significant month for REHS and our team.

During International Women’s Day, we took the opportunity to recognise not only how far we have come, but also the important work that continues to create a more balanced and inclusive future for all.

This year’s theme, Balance the Scales, speaks to both progress and purpose — acknowledging the achievements of women across our industry while reinforcing our shared responsibility to continue driving meaningful change.

We were proud to join the incredible team of PWR as Mining Emergency Response Competition (MERC) representatives for the Happiness Co’s International Women’s Day Luncheon on 13th March. The event provided a valuable opportunity to connect, reflect, and celebrate the impact of women across our sector.

For the REHS team, the celebrations continued at the CME WIRA Finalists Awards Dinner, where we were especially proud to see our very own Sue Steele recognised as the 2026 Outstanding Contribution or Achievement Award winner. Sue’s exceptional work in Medical and Emergency Response training, both in Australia and internationally, is a testament to her dedication, leadership, and lasting impact on the industry.

As we acknowledge these milestones, we remain committed to supporting equity, championing leadership, and continuing the work required to truly balance the scales.

This morning, we had the privilege of sharing breakfast at the offices of the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia, celebrating and acknowledging the many inspiring leaders across the mining and resources sector who have been nominated and recognised as finalists in the 2026 Women in Resources Awards (WIRA).

It’s one thing to read the stories and biographies of the finalists online — it’s another to sit together, share a meal, and hear first-hand the journeys, challenges and moments that have shaped each of these remarkable individuals. It was a genuinely humbling experience to be in a room filled with such passion, leadership and commitment to industry.

Red Earth Health Solutions would like to extend our congratulations to every nominee and finalist. Your dedication and impact across the resources sector is truly worthy of recognition.
We wish you all the very best as we count down to the awards dinner on Friday, 13 March.

REHS is especially proud of our own Sue Steele on her nomination as a finalist in the Outstanding Contribution or Achievement Award category — a testament to her leadership, advocacy and tireless support of those working in first responder emergency, remote, and resource settings.

Our sincere thanks to the incredible team at for hosting this special event, and to the Honorable Simone McGurk MLA, Minister for Creative Industries; Heritage; Industrial Relations; Aged Care and Seniors; and Women, for her ongoing support and advocacy for women in resources through programs such as WIRA and MARS.

Sue has been recognised in the Outstanding Contribution or Achievement Award category for her unwavering commitment to improving safety, medical training, and community wellbeing for mining emergency first responders.
