Steps to Better Health and Fitness | The Importance of Periodic Health Assessments 5 A Message from the Commissioner We will always put our people first and our people need to know that they are the most important asset that this organisation has. NSW Police Force is committed to optimising the health and wellbeing of all employees working across the organisation. We know that your physical and mental health is essential to ensuring your safety and that of your fellow colleagues. Our people work hard to protect the safety and security of our community and visitors to our great state. We do this 24/7, 365 days a year across all metropolitan, regional, and remote areas. With shift work and sedentary work comes an increased risk of developing chronic illness, making it even more important to take a proactive approach to regular health checks. This booklet has been developed to promote self-awareness for various health challenges that will inevitably arise as we age. Through the practice of self-care and awareness, the likelihood of recognising that you’re about to reach that point where you really need a little more support increases. I encourage you to find a GP that you can maintain a good relationship with and feel comfortable discussing any health concerns you may have. We must all make our own health and wellbeing a priority.
