It s the first day on the job for Wiradjuri teenager Makaylee Little.
The 17-year-old will be working in health administration at Wagga Wagga Base Hospital one day a week until she finishes school next year.
It s an opportunity she told SBS News is exciting, albeit a little nerve-wracking. Honestly, I was a little nervous because I hadn t been in an environment like this before,” she said.
“It s been a massive eye-opener just seeing how everything works.”
