Today, we honour and celebrate the incredible contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Practitioners across the country — and we’re especially proud of two of our very own: Russell and Wendy.

We thank you both for all that you do — for your people, for our program, and for the generations to come.

Deadly work, Russell and Wendy! 👣💛🖤❤️💚🤍💙
