    Good Health is important to me

    Good Health is important to me

    Good health is the foundation of a strong family and proud community. That’s something that has been reinforced to me over the last few years during my work for Aboriginal health organisations. Health organisations make it possible for Aboriginal people to excel in education, play, work, business, sport and life. As a young Wuthathi/Meriam girl, I grew up west of the railway line in suburban Cairns. My grandfather died of tetanus at forty and my mother worked in the hospital.
