Compass Health is the brain-child of Christy Whitby and co-founder and Director Anthony Metcalf. Previously a paramedic, Ms Whitby has utilized her skills in the medical industry to build a company that provides highly skilled medical and emergency response personnel to WA’s oil & gas and mining industries. Inadequate provision of medical services at mine sites was the driving force behind Ms Whitby’s concept for the company. The most significant and proudest moment in Ms Whitby’s business career was when the company was awarded its first contract, to provide medical services to iron ore miner Hancock Prospecting in 2008. Since then, Compass Health has experienced extensive growth and now sports a team of over 60 employees. The company’s client list has also expanded rapidly and includes resource sector giants Rio Tinto, Chevron and SKM. To date, Compass Health’s largest contract involves the provision of medical services to Woodside’s Pluto Liquefied Natural Gas Project.
