Sharing culture is a wonderful thing to witness in our workplace… opening the door to another world, showcasing values and enriching groups through a universal heart-to-heart message conveyed through spiritual tradition. And so it was last week, when our Procurement Manager Sunny Rasila held a Diwali celebration at Australian Natural Therapeutics Group (ANTG) Brisbane facility, with staff happily immersing themselves in custom and tradition... just brilliant to see! ⭐ Diwali offers a message of hope, faith, courage, and victory of light over darkness. This victory of light over darkness also signifies a deeper, inner transformation. 🌤️ 🧡 Also known as the Festival of Lights, Diwali symbolises the importance of unity, promoting understanding, strengthening bonds, and highlighting the rich diversity of cultures. 🫂 🌎 At ANTG, we foster community and culture and acknowledge the importance of bringing our teams together to celebrate shared rituals and traditions. 🤗 Thank you to everyone who took part and embraced the day! 🙏 ✨ #AustralianNatural #CustomsandTraditions #FestivalofLight #CrossCulturalSignificance #FestivalofLights Matt Cantelo Justin Sinclair Dirk Sprangers Matthew Dewar James Gaskell Beatriz Garabelli Max Taylor Kate Page Georgie Gaff Duncan Simpson Aaron Widdowson Angel Benares Tila Garabelli Jim Cameron Jessica Martland Amy Sly Katie Cann Andrew Cormack Rebecca Dodgson Adam Carvalho Nimanie Hapuarachchi Mittal Patel Bikash Kafle Corey Edwards Angas Shepherd Daniel Harris Angelique Ahearn Diane Forbes Stephen Bowne MBA Marleen Plate Helen Kapalos Rangi Faulder Jarrad Dale

Some really interesting news coming from the state of Victoria overnight where legislation has been passed, giving magistrates discretionary powers when it comes to medicinal cannabis patients and driving. 🪪 Last night the Victorian Parliament supported Legalise Cannabis Australia Cannabis amendments to the Road Safety laws giving magistrates discretion when dealing with cases of medicinal cannabis patients who test positive to a roadside drug test. The changes in Victoria mean that if a patient tests positive, the courts will decide if the driver was impaired by the medication, instead of drivers automatically losing their licence. Former Supervising Magistrate of the Drug Court Division Tony Parson’s report detailed a number of recommendations, and findings, remarking: "[It] is an odd situation to have a legal right (to take prescribed medicinal cannabis) then if you comply strictly with the obligations that come with that legal right, you can still be guilty of an offence. " See the consultation report in comments. 🌱 #AustralianNatural #LegislationChange #VictorianLaw #LegalRight

Have you ever heard the phrase 'go to the factory floor'?.... It's derived from the Japanese saying "Going to Gemba" which refers to managers visiting the shop floor to observe, learn and understand what is happening across every level of their business. It's a discipline widely adopted at Australian Natural Therapeutics Group (ANTG) where staff are invited to see how the entire business operates.. and we also love carrying this out for important community stakeholders, to deepen their understanding of what we do, and how we go about doing it. Earlier this week our Director of Community Helen Kapalos and Site Communications Co-ordinator Georgie Gaff hosted an educational tour at our Brisbane site, bringing together a group of wonderful women who work in the industry and play an important role in shaping conversations, stepping up advocacy and delivering frontline healthcare solutions. ⚕️🩺 ✨ They included Liz Warburton , a naturopath and emerging leader in the natural medicine space, author of soon to be released Cannabis Queens and policy specialist Melanie Wentzel , patient advocate, educator and author Kyla de Clifford and joining us for a workshopping lunch afterwards the founder of AusCannaReviews and podcaster Christina Mc Mullan . ⭐ The tour was run by Production Manager (Brisbane) Adam Carvalho and Cultivation Manager (Brisbane) Makayla Faulder. 🌱 Each tour offers the opportunity to provide direct insights into the cultivation, processing, and manufacturing of Australian Natural Therapeutics Group (ANTG) Australian-made products. This firsthand knowledge is invaluable for healthcare professionals who seek to understand the nuances of natural medicine, including the differences between cultivars, extraction methods, and formulations. It was an inspiring day, a comprehensive learning experience for all of us. Thank you to our stellar crew for your enthusiasm, contributions and ideas! ✨ Matt Cantelo James Gaskell Georgie Gaff Adam Carvalho Matthew Dewar Aaron Widdowson Angel Benares Beatriz Garabelli Tila Garabelli Edward Perera Andrew Cormack Svetlana Seeto Rebecca Dodgson Dirk Sprangers Rick Palesh Gavin Graham Angelique Ahearn Rangi Faulder Marleen Plate Andrew Whitfield-Cook Stephen Bowne MBA Daniel Harris Diane Forbes #AustralianNatural #LearningUpClose #HealthcareInsights #Cultivation #Manufacturing #AustralianMade

It was Nelson Mandela who said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." That was the reflection of Justin Sinclair ANTG's Chief Scientific Officer after presenting at the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse Palliative Care Study day yesterday. Justin presented an introduction to medicinal cannabis to an engaged audience, including nurses, doctors and staff. The presentations ranged from breakthrough cancer pain, managing nausea and vomiting in advanced cancer and pain management more broadly. 🧑🔬 📚 We feel incredibly grateful to be part of these days, acknowledging the forward thinking of institutions such as Chris O'Brien Lifehouse who prize education where important topics are communicated and conveyed.. and the value of embracing continuous learning. Every industry is dependent on high-level education to carry out the function of the work they do effectively, so a big thank you from us! 🌱 🌿 🩺 ⚕️ 🙏 #AustralianNatural #ContinuousLearning #EducationEducationEducation Matt Cantelo Stephen Bowne MBA Andrew Cormack Rebecca Dodgson Aaron Widdowson Georgie Gaff James Gaskell Adam Carvalho Max Taylor Jessica Martland Kate Page Amy Sly Katie Cann Gavin Graham Rick Palesh Angel Benares Duncan Simpson Rangi Faulder Matthew Dewar Edward Perera Diane Forbes Daniel Harris Marleen Plate Andrew Whitfield-Cook
