Artwork story
The artwork featured on our First Nations careers pages is Maggie-Jean Douglas' Health in Community. It was created in collaboration with Queensland Health as a celebration and acknowledgement of their First Nations employees in the past, present and future. This is shown with the three large, connected circle groups that flow through the piece. The pink large circle group top left represents past employees; the blue circle group in the centre represents current employees; and the brown circle group towards the right represent future employees.
The artwork symbolises a focus on people, community and the connection between the two, which is represented in the additional community circles surrounding the timeline. Maggie’s signature illustrative native bush plants have been woven into this piece, a nod to First Nation Peoples’ deep connection to country. The artwork uses a beautiful blend of blues, greens and teals—colours often used in medical environments, but the addition of pinks and reds to add warmth and heart.
