Summary
In this episode Shane is joined by Environmental Health Officer Cameron Smith , who shares his journey from flood response in Australia to life at sea as a Public Health Officer aboard international cruise ships. Set against the backdrop of post-COVID cruising, Cameron reveals the realities of working in a tightly regulated, multicultural environment where a single mistake can shut down an entire ship. From managing gastro outbreaks and pest risks to navigating the unique hierarchy and pressures of ship life, this episode explores the complexity, responsibility, and unexpected rewards of environmental health on the open ocean.
