China Leadership in Safe Hands
Blacktown Clinical School officially opened by Julia Gillard
PRIME MINISTER Julia Gillard was at Blacktown Hospital where she officially opened the University of Western Sydney Clinical School, which was funded with $20.6 million worth of federal funds. The project which commenced construction in November 2009, will provide a simulated environment where students can learn in a safe learning environment before proceeding into a real life ward situation. Students will be taught and will practice a range of clinical skills, including resuscitation, venipuncture and cannulation. The Blacktown Clinical School has also won two Master Builders Awards in 2010 and 2011 – one for site safety and another for excellence in construction.

Cockram Sponsors Tertiary Conference
In August, Cockram sponsored the Tertiary Education Management Conference (TEMC) on the Gold Coast. The conference is the peak event for tertiary facility managers and professionals throughout Australia and the Asia Pacific, and drew over 75 delegates. The event was a terrific success and Cockram are seriously considering sponsoring next year’s event as well.
Having completed over $500million worth of projects for the tertiary education sector in the last ten years is a compelling reason why Cockram would want to support the professionals working in the sector.
Queensland Office Opening & 2nd Birthday Celebrations
Cockram Construction’s Queensland division moved into new offices in July, which provided a good excuse for inviting clients and contacts in the industry to a function to officially christen the new digs. Held on the 31st August, it was also close to the second anniversary of a permanent office in Queensland, so there was a doubly good reason to celebrate. In that time, the Queensland division has grown from 1 to 20 staff, and has over $60 million in projects either completed or underway, with excellent prospects for more. This has been achieved in a subdued market, so it’s a very positive result which augurs well for the future of Cockram in Queensland.
Some 60 guests joined us for the soiree at the new offices, which were attractively themed for the occasion courtesy of BISAZZA QLD. ‘Blind’ wine tasting challenges proved irresistible for some while others were content to mingle and swap notes on the industry and events in Queensland. But because pictures tell a thousand words, the attached file offers a much better way to get a feel for how successful the event was.
