Brookwater’s natural beauty draws Doshi family
T
he natural beauty of Brookwater and a welldesigned master-planned community is what drew Dr Deepak Doshi and his wife to Greater Springfield. Dr Doshi, the West Moreton Health Chief Medical Officer (CMO), moved to Brookwater just over a year ago. “On our first drive, when my wife and I were on the hunt for a house, we were amazed to see the well-designed township here,” Dr Doshi said. “It was the welcome feel from everyone and amenities close by that were an added attraction.” Brookwater is a premier residential community, where lush greens, lakes, parklands and natural bushland meet modern residential living, and is only 30 minutes from Brisbane’s CBD. The Brookwater Golf Club is an 18-hole public access golf course, designed by former professional golfer Greg Norman, however Dr Doshi admitted he had not taken to the greens yet. “I do like the long stretches of green grass and walking areas,” Dr Doshi said. “We see a lot of multicultural families in the area and last week
was Deepavali (festival of lights celebrated by Hindus) and New Year for us, which we celebrated at a temple.” Dr Doshi’s house is the perfect place to unwind after a hard day’s work. “Our house overlooks the mountains and there is a nice garden space to relax and watch the sunset,” he said. “On the weekend, we often go out for walks in the surrounding beautiful areas. About 20 minutes’ drive is the yoga centre (that is now open) and a great way to connect to our inner self, for me and my wife.” He said there was also a Buddhist temple close by, a place where they often go for prayers and meditation. Dr Doshi said Greater Springfield was a “mini-city” with everything one needed for the entire family. “There are several educational institutions, including schools and higher learning institutions,” Dr Doshi said. “There’s great public transport which makes getting to the university easy for everyone.” He said the mini-city made everyone feel welcome, for all ages and cultures.
Since taking on the role as CMO at West Moreton Health, Dr Doshi said 2020 had been a “challenging year for all”.
included indigenous, migrants and economically disadvantaged people, which was the most satisfying part of his job.
Dr Doshi said he looked forward to making a positive difference to the health of the community, specifically vulnerable groups that
“It has been over decade now that we have been enjoying the sunshine in Australia which was immensely missed prior to
coming here from the UK,” Dr Doshi said. “The natural beauty of Australia is unsurpassable and we wish to explore the continent more both on land and in the waters once the borders open for us all.”
Australia focuses on Indian diaspora for economic success

ndian businesses abroad are being lured to Australia under a new and exciting Australian Government initiative. The Global Business and Talent Attraction Taskforce has been established to create quality Australian jobs by attracting high value businesses and exceptional talent to Australia to help turbo-charge the economy. The Taskforce brings together experts from the Commonwealth and State and Territory Governments as part of the Government’s JobMaker Plan. Special Envoy, Peter Verwer AO, who leads the Task force, says Australia is seeking trailblazers, entrepreneurs and proven enterprises in the future-focused industries of Health and Life Sciences, Financial Services, including FinTech, and Advanced Manufacturing and its many streams. “We are focused on top-tier businesses and individuals who can bring their networks, energy and ideas to our shores as soon as possible,” Mr Verwer says. “We will be leveraging our networks, including the Indian diaspora, to help identify companies and individuals who can significantly contribute to Australia’s economic recovery by filling supply chain.” Eligible companies will have access to fast track visas with a streamlined pathway to

permanent residency and a personalised end-to-end service for relocating to Australia. Senator Paul Scarr says the taskforce is a further opportunity to progress the relationship between India and Australia. “The taskforce is an exciting opportunity for those in the Australian Indian diaspora to contact Indian businesses and individuals and promote this once in a lifetime opportunity,” Senator Scarr says. “I am incredibly excited and passionate about the taskforce because it allows the two countries to continue to build important relationships and bring more Indian talent to Australian shores.” Senator Scarr says the taskforce follows growing interest in India, including An India Economic Strategy to 2035 report, which reveals the untapped potential that Australia can benefit from. “The Australian Indian diaspora is over 750,000 strong and the fastest growing diaspora in Australia,” Senator Scarr says. “This diaspora will have a big role to play in the partnerships of the future between India and Australia. It is very much part of Australia’s economic strategy and success. “The report also tells us India’s financial services will grow to 2035 and that India is an

Australia should build on its business relationships with India and bring talent to Australia, so everyone wins.” The report also follows a successful virtual India-Australia Leaders’ Summit between Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The meeting led to the creation of a new Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) between Australia and India. The CSP takes the bilateral relationship between India and Australia to a new level of cooperation, based on mutual understanding, trust, common interests and the shared values of democracy and the rule of law. The CSP also means the Foreign and Defence Ministers will meet at least every two years. “It is in both India and Australia’s interests to grow and enhance relationships between the
