The Qld Branch update is brought to you by TIMG

It has been a little while since the last Qld Branch update, but we certainly have been active during that time so I’ll pick up where we left off.

On 9 December 2022, HIMAAQ hosted its annual End of Year Celebration at The Inchcolm by Ovolo which was kindly sponsored by The Coding Company. The event celebrated the Mentoring Program closure, the 2022 graduating cohort from QUT’s HIM degree to the profession, recipients of the 2022 HIMAA membership awards and of course, Christmas. Jae made a special guest appearance as well – her first Qld branch event – and the members all appreciated being able finally meet Jae in person. Our end of year events are always popular – we had 47 attendees registered!

In March, QUT held the Faculty of Health Awards Ceremony where HIMAAQ proudly sponsors the Prize for Excellence in Health Information Management. Congratulations to Elizabeth Grimmett who was the award winner!

The beginning of May saw us officially launch the 2023 HIMAA Mentoring Program which is proudly sponsored by TIMG. This year, Janelle Christou is the program coordinator. Janelle was kept busy matching up 11 HIM students with fabulous industry HIMs who will act as their mentors throughout the year, and organising the launch event held at Victoria Park. This is now the third year HIMAAQ has run the program which gives

students the opportunity to network with their future colleagues and gain valuable advice and insight as they progress through their studies. A big thank you to our sponsor TIMG who allow us to continue this important program, Janelle for organising the event and Wisdom Luu who is one of the HIM students participating in the program and acted as official photographer on the night.

We have also been busy involved in helping to organise the upcoming IFHIMA conference in Brisbane in October and are excited to act as host!
